Take Me To The River
Al Green / Mabon Hodges - Al Green Music / JEC Pub. - BMI
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen why I should forget
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, yea yea
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
I don't know why she treat me so bad
After all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me
Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
{Rod - Solo}
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river

Pretty little baby, (Yah, yah)
Pretty little baby, You say that maybe,
You'll be thinkin' of me, And try to love me,
Pretty little baby,
I'm hoping that you do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
You can ask the flowers, I sit for hours,
Tellin' all the bluebirds, The "bill and coo" birds,
Pretty little baby,
I'm so in love with you-oo-oo-oo-oo!
(chorus)
Now is just the time,
While both of us are young,
"Puppy love" must have it's day-ay-ay,
Don'tcha know it's much more fun to love,
While the heart is yo
