lyrics

Take me son oh take me to
the river when I die

throw my ashes overboard so
I can float on back to all
the sweet things that I said goodbye to
many years ago
Son please let that river takes me home

I hitched my way up north to find
the better part of me
and the day I met your mama was
the smartest thing i'd ever done to date
but I drank too much
she kicked me to the street
cuz i wasn't yet the man i'd need to be

Take me son oh take me to
the river when I die
throw my ashes overboard so
I can float on back to all
the sweet things that I said goodbye to
many years ago
Son please let that river takes me home

Take me home, Take me home

well it wasn't long i saw her with
another boy in hand
as the leather on my boot is raw
I landed my fist upon his jaw real quick
i knew he had a girl n i saw his past
his greedy yellow smile
he was trying to have your mama on the side

Take me son take me to
the river when I die
throw my ashes overboard so
I can float on back to all the
sweet things that I left behind
so many years ago
Son please let that river takes me home

ever since that day your mama
never left my side
We bought ourselves a piece of land
n i built us a house with my bare hands
i swore to her that ill be damned
if go on back to Boston where
i was born...
where my folks live on.....

Take me son take me to
the river when I die
pour some whiskey overboard so
I can have a couple drinks with our good Lord
while we watch over your mama for
I can't leave her alone
Son please let that river take me
I said son please let that river takes me home

Take me home, Take me home, Take me home
