Take Me To The River Lyrics - 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 like I do 

After all the 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 

Take me to the river 

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 

After all the 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, hey, hey 

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me 

'Til I can't, 'til I can't take anymore 

Take me to the river 

I don't know why I love you like I do 

After all the things that you put me through 

There's sixteen candles that burn on my wall 

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know 

Can't you tell me 

Am I in love to stay, hey, hey 

I wanna know 

Take me to the river 

I wanna know 

Won't you dip me in the water 

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 

Feelin' good
