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 I love to stay here, yeah, hey, 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 16, I will never regret I wanna know Won't you tell me? Am I allowed to stay here, hey, hey Yeah Hold me, love me Please me, tease me 'Til I can't, 'til I can't Can't take no more, 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 Yeah 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
