Well, we built this house on a web of lies And when the walls fell in I came to realize That if your love don't leave you then you're allright And baby we've a-got it made Well, the river rose up and came to me last night And took the hat right off of my head You said, Honey don't you let it push you on your back Because you forgot your age 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 name me 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!
