You said, "Honey don't you let it push you on your back
F C
Because honey, you've still got your age"

Come on and save me

Take me to the river and bathe me

Take me to the river and name me
C
Tell me that it's all right
Well, the late King Henry came to me last night
Said you get your wings when you go straight
Well, no one on the river ever needed to fly
To lead their poor hearts astray
Come on and save me
Take me to the river and bathe me
Just don't let nobody else claim me, honey
Take me to the river and change me
Tell me that it's all right!
Yeah, tell me that it's all right!
