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
