Can't take much more of this heat  You got the water and I got the need  I feel a thirst in my soul  I'm burnin' up from head to toe    You gotta help me out, you know I'm down on my knees  I'm holding on to you, you gotta help me mister, please  Come on and    CHORUS  Take me to the river  Carry me down  Take me to the river  Gotta make it somehow  I'm feelin' kinda tired and it's a long way down  Take me to the river   Before I drown    Feel like I'm breathin' my last  I'm goin' down and sinking fast  There ain't a moment to waste  When I close my eyes, I can almost taste it    I'm down-right busted and I'm down on my luck  I'm coming back to you, you know I just can't get enough  You gotta    Chorus    I hear you callin', and I'm about to heed, it's alright  I'll get that water washin' over me till it's alright    Chorus    these lyrics are submitted by FF5 Fan
