Mavis Staples
I’ll Take You There
Oh, oh, take me there
Sing

I know a place, y'all
Ain't nobody crying, no
Ain't nobody worried
Ain't no smiling faces
Lying to the races

I said ain't no smiling faces
No smiling faces
Lying to the races
Ain't nobody crying
No more crying

If you're ready now, oh
(Hey) come on
(I'll take you there)
Lord, have mercy
Say if you're ready
(I'll take you there)

Oh, oh (help me, help me)
(I'll take you there)
Come on (hey, hey, yeah)
I said come on
(I'll take you) play it
(Oh, Lord) play on it
Play on the keyboard (yeah)

If you're ready now (I'm ready)
I could use some guitar (me too)
Sounds good

Help me now

If you're ready now
Come on

Mavis

Oh, I, oh, I

Said there ain't no
Ain't nobody crying
(Help me, help me)

I said, I said ain't no
(Ain't nobody worried)
Nobody worried
(Ain't no smiling faces)
No smiling faces
Lying to the races

If you think you're ready now
