Take Me to the River

Al Green . Take me to the river

I'd like to dedicate this song to Little Junior Parker
A cousin of mine who's gone on
But we'd like to kinda carry on in his name, by singing

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 allowed to stay here, here
Hey...

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 have 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 allowed to stay here, hey
Hey...
"""""
Hold me
Love me
Please me
Tease me
Til I can't, til I can't
Can't take anymore, hey
"""""
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
There's sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I allowed to stay here, here
Hey...

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
Hey, hey
Feelin' good
