Wade in the Water Eva Cassidy lyrics in description

[cosmic99]

deep down we are all black, Eve the mother of us all was black.

[mrwhatever213]

This song had nothing to do with that. it had to do with when we were in Egypt and god moved the water to let us pass. we are the true children of Israel. it is a real conspiracy against blacks.

[ROBLO08WAM1]

Not what Im looking for! I was looking something more "soulful"! Still good though!

[kidproblem1]

y r there white children playing in sprinklers lol

[zaheerahsultan]

This was done very nicely. at first I was offened...I must be slow. the artist are very talented and doin' what artist do.THAT'S FOR THE VIDEO!(a tear and a smile)

[SilverRuby445]

In choir we sung this song...in a different version, of course, but i love this song... <3

[bblack2626]

Instead of slaves how about permanent volunteers that happen to b black

[bblack2626]

Instead of slaves how about permanent volunteers

[ndcheerleader100]

haha...stunning is a funny word:)

[silverasian]

This song is simply stunning. I had no idea it had that kind of history to it.

[100hithere]

how could anyone dislike this song?

[AlyssaP8222]

i like this song but you are so rascist cuz you said 5 stars if you hate slavery and why did you make this song if u hate slavery?

[joel13245768]

@AlyssaP8222 so do you like slavery?



[boii102]

@joel13245768 y wud u ask tht,who on earth wud like slavery?

[UppyCuppyCake101]

@AlyssaP8222 (I know im late on this response lol) Its not racist exactly, and he (or she) made this vid cuz he (or she) doesnt like slavery and wade in the water is meaning for the children to basically do somethin safe (wade in the water). Im confusing my self xD. wade in the water is a good thing to do so, and since joel13245768 hates slavery, he (or she) made this vid. Get it?

[57billy1]

@AlyssaP8222 I hope ya'll know that i'm black

[nlewisba]

@AlyssaP8222 This song wasn't promoting slavery, it was an underground kind of way to tell slaves how to escape. So it's actually against slavery =)

[hnbkj]

I remember when I was real little and my mom use to play this song. Good times, good times... Lol ;)

[transamazon73]

Great song; horrible video.

[voodoochyl]

Eva Cassidy...RIP!!! You were fucking amazing!

[MsParodyQueen]

[77poptarts]

[77poptarts]

why the hell all these kids whiteee??? they suppose to be blackk??!?!?!

[stephine2131]

you know this song is from the under ground railroad by harriet tubman =)

[joel13245768]

@stephine2131 way to point out the obvious

[Wildstar501]

@joel13245768 dont have to be so mean about it.

[noirellea]

Could you post this on teachertube or make it available somehow outside of youtube since my school district blocks youtube. I would love to show it to show it to my students.

[veritasdeamare1]

LOVE THIS SONG

[nozomi832]

i got brought to this by homework....

[melyoyo1]

This little comment section annoys me. PageandBaylee to make peace just ignore this little converstation, Please. Joel please dont try to correct people here they have the right to type jiberish if they want. Obama is trying his best! Who cares if hes half black or not! Im sure if he was white no one would complain. I am not racist either so dont bother trying to call me one. I am not a big fan of obama honestly but we cant change the past SO LET IT BE!

[lilypayneful]

cool



[weirdOparade]

how totally weird is the scene at 1:10 ?! Children pretending to be young loving adults walking on the beach... what irritates me, is that they totally have this attitude. wtf *?!!*

pretty cool song, anyway

[joel13245768]

@goofy3042 cool

[bitzykitty]

sure is alot of white children that have nothing t do wit this song n obviously havent been n slavery

[theswingheil]

this is a great song to blues dance to

[ArielWolpe]

its a beautiful song and video

considering the meaning of the song, the actors could be a little more diverse. it wasnt written about white children

[bergerfry]

This is perfect music. Voice, instruments. It's how sound is supposed to be. There is one other video of this that is on 186 gram vinyl that takes the sound to a new level but perfection either way.

[TechyGirl125]

My music class is doing this song for spring concert. I wanna get a solo, but so many kids do, I don't think its possible. But it'll be fun anyways

[sunshinegirl833]

i love this song much because its tell about how us black had so much pride in ourselves and loo were r now we have a black president

[PageandBaylee]

@sunshinegirl833 umm ppl like u bother me... Obama isnt black.. hes half black

Just because hes half black doesnt mean we have to give blacks our full attention

NO I am not racist...

But it annoys me when blacks r all like "Oh yeah, well Obama is SOO gonna help us." and all that crap when wat has he done? nothing!.. the only way he got in was bcuz ppl voted him in bcuz hes HALF black

Oh and look where we r now.. we r no wheree

[joel13245768]

@PageandBaylee Well you do know that because of Obama he tripled our national debt i am not being racist but you kinda need to get straight to the point when you type or speak it gets people confused and yes this economy has failed totally because of him i know just. yeah and type correctly because i have no idea what you make. hes = he's or he is. ppl = people . r = are or our. isnt= is not or isn't.wat = what. bcuz= because.and the wheree i don't know what that was

[PageandBaylee]

@joel13245768 wow.. wheree is me just making it longer like ahhhhhh or something... and Im just annoyed with ppl who say that Obama is gonna help us when he hasnt even helped the gays (which I dont like) and Y do i have 2 do that when its speaking txt? i type normal at least I dont type like this :

HeY WaSSuP

[joel13245768]

@PageandBaylee well i am saying that you should text type when you are texting

it's easier for other people to understand ↓stand = under stand. shut ↑ =shut up

heart ♥ equals alt 259

[PageandBaylee]

@joel13245768 Well its easy 4 ppl 2 read mine for other ppl.. I can type other ways

WOULD THiS BOTHER YOU?? ... or

WOULD THIS BOTHA YA GUH??!
