Lyrics

I'm going to the river and gonna set down on the side

Well I know what's sinnin' me, baby, you done said goodbye

Well I used to live in the country, honey, now I live in town

Well one woman drove me crazy, other one put me down

Well I hate to ask you, baby, honey I know this is a sin

Well I hate to ask you, baby, but take me back again
