HAW RIVER
As recorded by Chase Rice

(2024 release)

[Intro]
D C D C G

[Chorus]
D C D
Oh, holy man
C G
Why do you do the things you do?
D C
Oh, holy man
D N.C. D C D
There's a place in Hell for you

[Verse 1]
D C
Before Alamance was Alamance, white man rolled in with the current
D C D C
He brought his guns, brought his God, and some brimstone-fire insurance
G D C
He took 'em down by the river to pray
G D C D C
But it wasn't their sins he'd take

[Chorus]
G D C
He said, "Come now, you black-haired sinner
D C G
Come down, get your soul delivered
D C
I'll wash you clean by the timber
D C G D C D
Follow me down to the Haw River"

[Verse 2]
D C D C
One by one, hе worked his way 'til he washed thе whole town whiter
D C D C
Slow and steady, he made his bed, settin' innocence on fire
D C D C G
Mom and Daddy didn't know the game
D C D C
But the youngest daughter felt the shame

[Chorus]
G D C
He said, "Come now, you black-haired sinner
D C G
Come down, get your soul delivered
D C
I'll wash you clean by the timber
