Al Green - Take Me to the River lyrics

[Al Green - Take Me to the River lyrics]

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
I sing

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these 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?

Take me to the river and 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
Look at 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 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 are burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know, can't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know take me to the river
I wanna know want you to 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
