Lyrics
Take me to the river ? Let my spirit carry me!
Take me down ? I?ve been here too long
Got to move around ? It?s been burning strong
I can hear the thunder ? I can feel the rain
I got that Gypsy blood boiling in my veins
Take me down- I?ve been here too long
Come on Baby ? You know I love you
Don?t try to save me ? It?s what I must do
The water from the mountain ? Runs in to the sea
Take me to the river and let my spirit carry me
