Take me To The River
Words and Music by
AL GREEN and MABRON HODGES
(c) 1974, 1978 Irving Music, Inc ans Al Green Music, Inc. (BMI)
(taken from the Talking Heads songbook)
Verse 1: I don't know why, I love you like I do
With all the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet..
I - wan - na know, can you - tell me
I'm..I - Love to stay -
Chorus: Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Dip me in the water, washing me down
Washing me down..
Verse 2: I don't know why, you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could have had
Love is a notion that, I can't forget
My sweet sixteen, I would never regret..
I - wan - na know, can you - tell me
I'm ..I love to stay -
Chorus: Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Dip me in the water, washing me down
Washing me..
Hold - me, squeeze - me,
Love - me, tease - me,
Till I can't - till I can't
I can't take - no more
Chorus: Take me to the water
Drop me in the river
Push me in the water
Drop me in the river, washing me down
Washing me down..
Verse 3: I don't know why, I love you like I do
With all the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles, there on my wall
And here am I, the biggest fool of them all
I - wan - na know - can you tell me
I'm..I love to stay
Chorus: Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Dip me in the water, washing me down
Washing me down..
