Take me to the river baby drink my wine
When I'm going down won't you throw me a line
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you sing me some prayers
When will you show me a sign
When will you throw me a line
Help me to the answer baby sit my prey
I'm torn between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Maybe if you wanted you could save my face
Keep me out of trouble I'm a living disgrace
When will you show me a sign
When will you throw me a line
Oh, ooh baby put me on the hot line
Baby, put me on the hot line
The hot lines to hell
Oh
Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name
Standing in a line with the shadows of fame
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers
When will you show me a sign
When will you throw me a line
(Solo)
When will you show me a sign
When will you throw me a line
Oh, put me on the hot line
Yeah, put me on the hot line
On the hot line baby, oh
Take me to the river, baby, drink my wine
Take me to the river and drink my wine
Take me to the river, drink my wine
Take me, take me, a take me, take
Take me to the hot line
Baby take me to the hot line
Take me to the hot line
To hell, oh
