I don't know too much about love, people,
But I sure think I've got it bad.
I don't know too much about love, people,
But I sure think I've got it bad.
Some people say love is just a gamble.
But whatever it is, it's about to drive poor me mad.
I sit here in my lonely room,
Tears flowing down my eyes.
As I sit here in my lonely room,
Tears flowing on down my eyes,

(Over here)

Let me love you baby,

You're drivin' my poor heart crazy.

Let me love you baby,
You're drivin' my poor heart crazy.

When I'm with you woman,

My whole life seems so hazy.

(Ah, don't you know that)

Baby, when you walk,

You shake just like a willow tree?

(Ah, yes you do, darlin', every time I see ya. Oh!)

Baby, when you walk you know what?

Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.

He don't plant tater's,
and we all know he don't pick cotton.
But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.

You and me, we sweat and toil,

Please, walk me out in the morning dew.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.

Thought I heard a young man crying.
Thought I heard a young man crying.
You did not hear no young man crying.
You did not hear no young man crying.
Thought I heard a young girl crying.
Thought I heard a young girl crying.
You did not hear no young girl crying.
