Dip your fingers in some water
To my tongue, my tongue
Dip your fingers in some water
To my parchin' tongue
Dip your fingers in some water,
Kuma, archin' tongue
Dip your fingers in some water,
Kuma, archin' tongue
For I'm tormented in the flame
Great God,
just dip your fingers in some water,
Kuma, archin' tongue
Dip your fingers in some water,
Kuma, archin' tongue
Dip your fingers in some water,
Kuma, archin' tongue
For I'm tormented in the flame
Well, the rich man lived,
well, he lived so well,
but when he died,
well, the rich man fell.
Won't you praise the Lord?
Just dip your fingers in some water
to cool my heart
Chin -tongue,
dip your fingers in some water
to cool my heart
Chin -tongue, dip your fingers in some water
to cool my heart
Chin -tongue,
for I'm tormented in the flame
Oh, well, the poor man lies there
Well, his glory and honor
Is just as poor as I
Won't you praise the Lord?
And when he died,
well, it's glory and honor
He had a home on high,
won't you praise the Lord
Just dip your fingers in some water,
do my part
Arch and tongue,
dip your fingers in some water, do my part
Arch and tongue,
dip your fingers in some water, do my part
Arch and tongue,
for I'm tormented in the flame you
