Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Preacher, take me down
Take me down the river, river
[Verse 2]
It's not what I had planned when I was walkin' in
I didn't know what I'd see
Steppin' through the door
Their clothes were on the floor
Was somethin' like a bad dream
[Verse 3]
And then in just a blink
Before I could think
I didn't know what happened
All I know is this
How could he commit
A crime against our passion?
[Verse 4]
Oh-ah
The moment that I saw them kiss
Oh-ah
I knew it had to end like this
[Verse 5]
Preacher, take me down
Take me down to 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 to the river, river
[Verse 6]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Ooh, if you give me one more chance
Oh-ah, I'll never shoot him down again
[Verse 9]
So, preacher, take me down
Take me down to 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 to the river, river
[Verse 10]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 11]
Preacher, take me down
Take me down to 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 to the river, river
[Verse 12]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 13]
I took that loaded gun
Forgive what I have done
So, preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river
