The River lyrics

(Preacher, take me down) (Take me down the river, river) It's not what I had planned when I was walking in I didn't know what I'd see Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor Was something like a bad dream And then yesterday, before I could think I didn't know what happened All I knew was this How could he commit a crime against our passion The moment that I saw them kiss I knew it had to end like this Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (River, river, river, river) The writing's on the wall, but it was his fault How could anybody blame me I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew I swear you'd do the same thing If you give me one more chance I'll never shoot him down again Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (Take me down) (Take me down) (Take me down) (River, river) (Take me down) Preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river I couldn't help myself When I saw him with her, with her I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river (River, river, river, river) I took that loaded gun Forgive what I have done So preacher, take me down Take me down the river, river
