Delbert McClinton - Take Me To The River Lyrics
I don't know why I love you like I doAfter all them changes you've been puttin' me throughYou stole my money and my cigarettesAnd I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yetI wanna know, oh won't you tell meTell me how, how could I stay here with youSomebody pleaseTake me to the river and wash me downTake me to the riverAnd put my feet back on the groundI don't know why you treat me so badAfter of all them good times that you and me hadLove is an emotion that I can't forgetMy sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a messI wanna know, oh won't you tell meTell me how, how could I stay here with youSomebody help meTake me to the river and wash me downJust take me to the riverAnd put my feet back on the groundOh, love me, squeeze me, hold meAnd baby, you can tease meTill I can't take no moreI don't know why I love you like I doAfter all them changes you've puttin' me throughYour pretty picture makes my teardrops fallI wonder who's the biggest fool of us allI wanna know, oh won't you tell meTell me how, how can I stay here were youSomebody help meTake me to the river and wash me downTake me to the riverAnd put my feet back on the groundTake me to the river and wash me downYeah, take me to the riverAnd put my feet back on the groundTake me to the river and wash me downJust take me to the riverAnd put my feet back on the ground
