Take Me To The River - Delbert McClinton

I don’t know why I love you like I do

After all them changes you’ve been puttin' me through

You stole my money and my cigarettes

And I ain’t seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know, oh won’t you tell me

Tell me how, how could I stay here with you

Somebody please

Take me to the river and wash me down

Take me to the river

And put my feet back on the ground

I don’t know why you treat me so bad

After of all them good times that you and me had

Love is an emotion that I can’t forget

My sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a mess

I wanna know, oh won’t you tell me

Tell me how, how could I stay here with you

Somebody help me

Take me to the river and wash me down

Just take me to the river

And put my feet back on the ground

Oh, love me, squeeze me, hold me

And baby, you can tease me

Till I can’t take no more

I don’t know why I love you like I do

After all them changes you’ve puttin' me through

Your pretty picture makes my teardrops fall

I wonder who’s the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, oh won’t you tell me

Tell me how, how can I stay here were you

Somebody help me

Take me to the river and wash me down

Take me to the river

And put my feet back on the ground

Take me to the river and wash me down

Yeah, take me to the river

And put my feet back on the ground

Take me to the river and wash me down

Just take me to the river

And put my feet back on the ground
