Take Me to the River

Take me to the river

And I love to stay
Yet I wanna know, can't you tell me
Love me, tease me

I can't take no more of it
Take me to the river

Wash me in the water, the water
Drop me in the water

Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Dip me in the river
Dip me in the river
(Drop me in the water)
Wash me in the water, the water
(Push me in the water, the water)
Take me to the river
(Drop me in the water, the water)

All the trouble you put me through
Don't know why, love you like I do
I haven't seen all the worst of it

Drop me in the water
Take me to the river

(Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water
(Take me to the river)
And I love to stay
Take me to the river
Till I can't, till I can't
(Push me in the water, the water)
Take me to the river

(Take me to the river)
(Put me in the river)

Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
(Push me in the river)
Drop me in the water, the water
(Drop me in the water)
All the changes you put me through
Hold me, squeeze me
Take me to the river
(Put me in the river)
Wash me in the water

I wanna know, can't you tell me
Don't know why, I love her like I do
Don't know why, you treat me so bad
Here am I, biggest fool of them all

(Dip me in the river)
Drop me in the water
Drop me in the water
Think of all the things we could have had
(Take me to the river)
(Drop me in the water)
Washing me down
Take me to the river

I haven't seen all the worst of it
Push me in the water
Love is an ocean, I can't forget
Take me to the river
Yet I wanna know, can't you tell me
Push me in the water
(Drop me in the water)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water, the water)
Oh, take me to the river
Drop me in the water, the water
And I love to stay
Wash me in the water, the water

Sixteen candles there on my wall
Take my money, my cigarettes

Put me in the river

Wash me in the water
Put me in the river
