Take Me to the River

Hey little girl where have you been?
Hey little boy are you drunk again?
Both of your names is carved in stone
So don’t toss around and say you’re not coming home
Take me to the river, wash me in the water
Take me to the graveyard so I can sleep my sleep
Take me to your momma so I can tell her
That everything she’s done
Is alright, is alright
Hey little boy what are you doing on a saturday night?
Hey little girl don’t you trust that man cause he ain’t gonna do you right
Freedom and salvation comes from inside
So don’t toss around and hurt your faded light
Take me to the river, wash me in the water
Take me to the graveyard so I can sleep my sleep
Take me to your momma so I can tell her
That everything she’s done
Is alright, is alright
Is alright, is alright
Take me to the river, wash me in the water
Oh oh take me to the graveyard so I can sleep my sleep
Oh take me to your momma so I can tell her
Everything she’s done
Is alright, is alright
Is alright, is alright
Is alright, is alright
