Cassidy, Eva - Take Me To The River Lyrics






I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know boy, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]
Won't you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground

I don't know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we've had
You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]

Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can't take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus x2]

Cassidy, Eva Take Me To The River Comments
  1. G.... J....

    Eva, you are sorely missed.

  2. D.... B....

    That change at 0:39
    !!!!!!!
    Damn she was such a versatile singer, she went too early.

  3. T.... T....

    Nobody can sing a song like Eva. Amazing talent taken far to soon.

  4. g.... ....

    I think Eva's voice and Whitney Houston's voice are the two best voices of the last 40 years. Can you think of any others?

  5. S.... M....

    amazing talent, we love you eva ~

  6. A.... O....

    You give me wings to fly.... Thank you..

  7. R.... D....

    Damn what pipes you got

  8. j.... n....

    La más grande!

  9. J.... B....

    Attending this event would be the perfect use of a Time Machine.

    J.... B....

    Very clever comment! I couldn't agree more.

  10. K.... H....

    November she was gone, wish she was here.

  11. s.... b....

    Her death and The Civil Wars break up two of music's greatest tragedies ☹

  12. B.... B....

    She was absolutely amazing there was nothing he couldn’t sing. So sad she had to leave her life so young. R.I.P. Eva🙏🏽🕊♥️🌹♥️

  13. R.... H....

    What are the lyrics to this

  14. D.... H....

    What magnificent talent. Any song, any genre . She left way too early. Love EVA..........! RESPECT...!

  15. A.... M....

    A million thanks to you guys for keeping this beautiful woman alive. Ado.

  16. V.... T....

    Fantastica ❤️

  17. N.... ....

    Who knew Geography Teachers could play the blues?!?

  18. m.... z....

    Oh so sweet

  19. M.... O....

    If we only have her audio - even just audio - of her singing Black Sabbath's Paranoid, oh man.

  20. M.... O....

    That is how you get a party started.

  21. D.... ....

    amazing. what a loss to us all

  22. L.... M....

    Amazing voice!

  23. R.... T....

    Eva should be in the Hall of Fame where she is the ONLY member. She's in a class all by herself. Eva Cassidy, I was not aware of you when you were alive... and I will regret that for the rest of my life.

  24. E.... L....

    There was absolutely nothing this woman couldn't sing! She leaves everyone else in the dust!

  25. M.... d....

    Incredible singer and beautiful soul all in one .....

  26. E.... E....

    Love LOVE you Eva x

  27. B.... F....

    Yes..... this!

  28. N.... H....

    Eva was the bomb! What a voice...and so much passion.

  29. L.... M....

    I don't know how anyone could not like this

  30. J.... D....

    She has the band just slinging rhythm at the listeners,
    then she jumps in with an incredibly inviting conversation.

  31. W.... R....

    Beautifully done

  32. s.... ....

    It impossible. I've heard one song by a coincidence. And you know what? I'm here for 2 hours. I love her! She was definitely special. Mayby God needed her for his choir in heaven.

    s.... ....

    There's still so many that don't know of her. A TV miniseries would be very cool. Her voice though, no actress could do what she does.

    s.... ....

    I did the same thing except it's been 3 & 1/2 hours & counting!!

    s.... ....

    @Lori Hearon Bowman I'm up nearly 9 I think+counting. She is amazing!

  33. L.... F....

    Super !

  34. N.... ....

    What an incredible and singular talent she was! She was ‘unboxable’ and beyond genres— a transcendental voice with a matching authentic personality. They offered her the world, if she had only conformed to their commercial vision, but she had the strength of the spirit and the moral fiber to remain true to herself and her music.

  35. B.... L....

    Brilliant!

  36. r.... ....

    Golden girl!!

  37. J.... L....

    Love that intro: raw guitar and drum. whoaa.

  38. H.... o....

    She is now one with the music 🌻

  39. W.... B....

    Absolutely awesome!

  40. R.... H....

    That is biondo rainbow

  41. S.... B....

    Getting My Feet Back On The Ground Awesome Eva Rest in Peace Eva

  42. M.... I....

    Beautiful

  43. L.... E....

    Wow , just Wow , I didn't realise she had recorded a version of the Talking Heads classic .Nobody could make an original song her own like Eva Cassidy .

    L.... E....

    actually a 1974 song written by Al Green and popularized by the Talking Heads. Check out the original by Al Green! But Eva's version is much better than the Talking Heads, IMHO!

    L.... E....

    Same here. Omygoshness, I didn't even realize this song itself was a cover from Talking Heads. *Slapping my forehead*

    L.... E....

    @Les Freligh Al Green sings to fast. Talking heads or Government mule IMHO do a better job except for this version is great.

    L.... E....

    Go figure, Rev. Al Green and Mabon Hodges wrote this song. So people say it was the beginning of Al's transition from soul singer to gospel artist in 1974. I prefer Eva's version.

  47. H.... J....

  48. J.... T....

    The good rev. Al would surely approve. Her musical sensibility is scary good. The back up players did it right as well.

  49. A.... S....

    Amazing! Best voice I ever

  50. D.... N....

    Eve Cassidy has taken me to the river and I've got the blues. She's not here anymore and I blame Cancer. Where was god when she needed her!?

    D.... N....

    David Neale well she never went back for her checkups after she had the mole removed and her mom urged her to but Eva thought nothing more of it

    My God Thank you for this.  Raice Macleod and Chris Biondo unhinged and in full force.  This is the first song I loved from Eva Cassidy Band.  I heard it in a small clothing shopping store inside Greenhills Shopping Center in Makati City, Philippines in 2001.  Had to ask the store clerk what he's playing.

    M.... O....

    Listen to these guys on the live version of Stormy Monday, same album. Fabulous. Eva's awesome, so are the fellas. I hope they're still out there.
