I have been to Memphis, I couldn't find me no peace
My soul is feeling restless and I need some release
heading for the desert, see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers to the questions in my mind (all I want)

Take me down to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go

I've been down in Natchez, down to Baton Rouge
You see the river keeps on callin' me no matter what I do (matter what I do)

Take me down to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go

I'm drivin' through the darkness, Highway 61
Heading for the crossroads like the one before me done
(All I want you to do)
Take me down to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go...
