[B]
[E]
I'd like to dedicate this song to little Junior Parker, a cousin of mine that's gone on.
I'd like to kind of carry on in his name.
I don't know why I love [D] you like I [A] do.
[E] After all the changes [D] you put me [A] through.
[E] You stole my money and my [D] cigarettes.
[E] And I haven't seen how I'm gonna [D] have you yet.
[C] I wanna know, [G] won't you tell me.
[D] I love [A] this baby.
Take me [E] to the river,
[G] wash [E] me down.
Warm your hands by my shoulder.
Put my feet on the ground.
I don't know why she treated [D] me so bad.
[A] [E] After all the things that we [D] could have [E] had.
Now there's a notion that I [D] can't forget.
[E] Wash me sixteen, I will [D] never regret.
[C] I wanna know, [G] won't you tell [D] me.
I [A] love this baby.
[E]
Hold
[C#m] [A] me, love [C#m] me, [A] please me, [G] tease me.
Till [B] I'm ashamed, till I'm ashamed.
Take me [E]
to the river.
I don't know why I love you [D] like I [E] do.
After all the things that you put [D] me [A] through.
[E] Sixteen candles are [D] burning on my [A] wall.
[E] Tell me, baby, before I [D] turn off.
I [C] wanna know, [G] won't you tell me.
[D] I love [A] this baby.
[E] I wanna know, take me to the river.
I wanna get me in the water.
I wanna go, walk me in the water.
Walk me in the, walk me in the water.
Walk me in the water.
