Take Me to the River
main lyrics
[Talking]
I'd like to dedicate this song
to little Junior Parker
a cousin of mine who's gone on, but we'd like to
kind of carry on in his name
I sing


I don't know why I love you like I do
after all the changes that you put me through
you stole my money and my cigarettes
and I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know, won't you tell me
am I in love to stay? yeah

Take me to the river
wash me down
won't you cleanse my soul?
put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad
after all the things that we could've had
love is a notion that I can't forget
my sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know, won't you tell me
am I in love to stay?

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
till I can't, till I can't, can't take no more

Take me to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do
after all the things that you put me through
the sixteen candles that burn on my wall
turn me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
am I in love to stay?

I wanna know
take me to the river
I wanna know
won't you dip me in the water?
I wanna know
won't you wash me in the water?
wash me in the water
wash me in the water
won't you wash me in the water?

Feeling good
