The Late King Henry

Well, we built this house on a web of lies

And when the walls fell in I came to realize

That if your love don’t leave you then you’re allright

And baby we’ve a-got it made

Well, the river rose up and came to me last night

And took the hat right off of my head

You said, Honey don’t you let it push you on your back

Because you forgot your age

Come on and save me

Take me to the river and bathe me

Just don’t let nobody else claim me, honey

Take me to the river and name me

Tell me that it’s all right

Well, the late King Henry came to me last night

Said you get your wings when you go straight

Well, no one on the river ever needed to fly

To lead their poor hearts astray

Come on and save me

Take me to the river and bathe me

Just don’t let nobody else claim me, honey

Take me to the river and change me

Tell me that it’s all right!

Yeah, tell me that it’s all right!
