Take Me To The River Lyrics - Take Me To The River 1978-1982 - Levon Helm

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

After all the changes that you put me through 

You stole my money and my cigarettes 

And I haven't seen how to have you yet 

I wanna know, oh wont you'll tell me? 

Just tell me how, how could I stay, here with you? 

Oh will you take me to the river 

And wash me down 

Just take me to the river 

Put my feet back on the ground 

I don't know why you treated me so bad 

After all the good times that we could have had 

Love is an ocean, that I can't forget 

My sweet sixteen I would never regret 

I wanna know, oh wont you tell me? 

Tell me how, how could I stay, here with you? 

You want to take me to the river 

And help me wash me down 

Just take me to the river 

Put my feet back on the ground 

Hold me, squeeze me, 

hold me and you can tease me 

Until I cant take no more, 

oh no more, no more, no more 

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

All the changes that you put me through 

Your sixteen candles they burn on my wall 

Now whos the biggest fool of us all 

I wanna know, oh wont you tell me? 

Just tell me how, how could I stay, here with you? 

Oh will you take me to the river 

And help to wash me down 

Just take me to the river 

Put my feet back on the ground 

Oh will you take me to the river 

And help to wash me down 

Oh will you take me to the river 

Put my feet back on the ground
