My favorite song of all time is:
Wade in the water - Gospel African Slave music
Obviously joking!!! ;)
Chorus
Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
I stepped in water and the water is cold
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Said it chilled my body but not my soul
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Chorus
Well I went to the water one day to pray
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
And my soul got happy and I stayed all day
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
... and it continues
Hehehhe they where fighting us europeans with music!
Because many slaves knew the secret meanings of these songs, they could be used to signal many things. For example, Harriet Tubman used the song “Wade in the Water” to tell escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water to make sure the dogs slavecatchers used couldn’t sniff out their trail. People walking through water did not leave a scent trail that dogs could follow. Read the words of "Wade in the Water."
Now they should sing a new version of wade in the water:
Wade in the med
Wade in the med children
Wade in the med
Don't you know that
Harry's gonna trouble the water
Don't you know that
JSRC's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the med!
Wade in the mediterranean
Just cross from libia
Until you find malta!
Wade in the med
I stepped in boat and the mediterranean is cold
Don't you know that
Dolores's gonna trouble the water
Said it chilled my body but not my soul
Don't you know that
IM Beck's gonna trouble the water
Well I went to the malta one day to pray
Don't you know that
Margerita's gonna trouble the water
And my soul got happy and I stayed all year
Don't you know that
Peppi's gonna trouble the water

Chorus
Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
I stepped in water and the water is cold
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Said it chilled my body but not my soul
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Chorus
Well I went to the water one day to pray
