Take Me to the River - Live

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
