lyrics

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RIVER
Partington/Hughes/Jones

Free my day free my nights, free my wrong and free my rights
Free my love, free my pain, free my pride and free my shame
Free my yes and free my no, free my stop and free my go
Free my leaving free my stay, free me from these boots of clay
Free my girl and free my boy, free my song and free my joy
Free my body, free my soul, free my rock and free my roll
and take me down to the river when I'm done
AND WASH MY PAIN AWAY

Free our peace and free our fight, free our dark and free our light
Free our hearts and free our touch, free too little free too much
Free our knowing free our doubt, free our whisper free our shout
Free our dark clouds free the sun, free our minds when day is done
Free our girl and free our boy, free our song and free our joy
Free our bodies free our soul, free our rock and free our roll
And take me down to the river when I'm done
AND WASH MY PAIN AWAY

Free the tribe and free the land, free the nation, free the clan
Free the spirit, free the faith, free the love and free the hate
Free the rich and free the poor, free the windows, free the doors
Free the wings and free the chains, free the judging free the blame
Free the mother, free the earth, free the death and free the birth
Free the body, free the soul, free the rock and free the roll
And take me down to the river one more time
AND WASH MY PAIN AWAY
