Lyrics

Take U Down (Words and Music by Jeff Frankel)

I wanna take you down
Way down south
Way down where the river flows
There?s a woman there
She got jet-black hair
And brother, she does know

Me and Cappy went down
To that bayou town
Try to escape the heat up north
Things wasn?t getting no easier
Just plain getting worse
Gotta slip out my back door

I wanna take you down
Way down south
Way down where the river flows
There?s a woman there
She got jet-black hair
And brother, she does know

She appeared in a ghostly mist
Behind the thick-grown thistle
At the gate of an abandoned church
Sayin? ?Boy, c?mon with me
And you will feel
The way you used to feel?

Oh the lights on the bridge
I?m with a girl I dig
Phantom tanker come up so fast
Try to see if I can last

(Solo)

Yeah, we?re at her place
She got the beads, bangles and lace
Dark-hair beauty
Ride me away, away

When I woke up
My love, she was gone
No scent, no ceiling fan, no mahogany on the walls
Nothing but a memory
Of future time gone by
Round trip ticket, reverse course
Now I?m back in my war-torn bed up north

I wanna take you down
Way down south
Way down where the river flows
There?s a woman there
She got jet-black hair
And brother, she does know
