Karaoké Take Me to the River Al Green

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 these 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 in love to stay?

Hey hey, hey

Take me to the river and 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

Look at all those 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 in love to stay?

Yeah yeah, yeah

Hold me, love me

Please me, tease me 'till I can't, 'till I can't ain't take no more, no more

Take me to the river

I don't know why

I love you like I do

After all these things that you put me through

The sixteen candles burn on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Yeah yeah yeah, hey

I wanna know

Take me to the river

I wanna know

I want you to dip me in the water, ah

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?

Oh oh
