Take Me to the River Delbert McClinton

[Verse 1]
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all them changes you've been puttin' me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, oh, won't you tell me
Tell me how, how could I stay here with you
Somebody please

[Chorus]
Take me to the river, and wash me down
Take me to the river
And put my feet back on the ground
Now looka here

[Verse 2]
I don't know why you treat me so bad
After of all them good times that you and me had
Love is an emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a mess

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, oh, won't you tell me
Tell me how, how could I stay here with you
Somebody help me
