Take me to the river baby drink my wine When I'm going down won't you throw me a line Lead me to religion take me up them stairs When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers
When will you show me a sign When will you throw me a line
Help me to the answer baby set me free I'm torn between the devil and the deep blue sea Maybe if you wanted you could save my face Keep me out of trouble and I'm a living disgrace
Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name Standing in a line with the shadows of fame Lead me to a legend take me up them stairs When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers
