The River

(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 in just a blink, before I could think

I didn't know what happened

All I knew was this

How could he commit a crime against our passion

Oh... the moment that I saw them kiss

Oh... 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
