Al Green
Take Me to the River
I don't know why lookin' like I do
After all these changes you comin' through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
I haven't seen I had the worst of it yet
But I wanna know, can you tell me
I'd really like to stay

Take me to the river
Throw me in the river
Take me to the river
Throw me in the river

I don't know why you're treatin' me so bad
Think of all these good times we could have had
Love is an ocean but I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I'll never regret
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I allowed to stay

Take me to the river
Throw me in the river
Take me to the river
Throw me in the river

Hold me, love me, squeeze me, tease me
I don't know why you're treatin' me so bad
Think of all these good things we could have had
Love is an ocean but I can't forget
My sweet sixteen as I'll never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Am I allowed to stay

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
