Take Me To The River

(альбом: Levon Helm - 1978)

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all them changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Just tell me how, how could I stay here with you
Will you take me to the river and wash me down
Just take me to the river, put my feet back on the ground

I don't know why you treated me so bad
After all them good times 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
Tell me how, how could I stay here with you
You gotta take me to the river and help 'em wash me down
Take me to the river and put my feet back on the ground

Love me, squeeze me, hold me and you can tease me
Until I can't take no more, no more, no more, no more

I just don't know why I love you like I do
After all them changes that you put me through
Your sixteen candles they burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Just tell me how, how could I stay here with you
Will you take me to the river and help 'em wash me down
Just take me to the river, put my feet back on the ground
Will you take me to the river and help 'em wash me down
Will you take me to the river, put my feet back on the ground
