Eleanor Powell and the Berry brothers to Marlena Shaws up beat vocal version of Ramsey Lewis' Wade in the water.

Originally one of the 'Songs of freedom'
(Wade in the water) was sung by way of instruction to escaping slaves .. travelling along the water's edge or across a body of water, would throw dogs and their keepers off the scent.

Wade in the water,
Wade in the water children.
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's all those children all dressed in Red?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God's gonna trouble the water.

What are those children all dressed in White?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God's gonna trouble the water.

Who are these children all dressed in Blue?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God's gonna trouble the water.
