Lyrics I'll Take You There - Single Version - The Staple Singers

Oh, mmm
I know a place
Ain′t nobody cryin'
Ain′t nobody worried
Ain't no smilin' faces
Mmm, no no
Lyin′ to the races

Help me, come on, come on
Somebody help me now [(I′ll take you there)]
Help me, ya'all [(I′ll take you there)]
Help me now [(I'll take you there)]
Oh [(I′ll take you there)]
Oh oh mercy [(I'll take you there)]
Oh, let me take you there [(I′ll take you there)]
Oh-oh! Let me take you there! [(I'll take you there)]

Play your, play your piano now
All right
Ah, do it, do it
Come on now
Play on it, play on it
Daddy daddy now
Daddy daddy daddy

Ooh, Lord
All right now
Baby, easy now
Now, come on, little David
All right
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Sock it, sock it

Ah, oh, oh!
I know a place, ya'all [(I′ll take you there)]
Ain′t nobody cryin' [(I′ll take you there)]
Ain't nobody worried [(I′ll take you there)]
No smilin' faces [(I′ll take you there)]
Uh-uh [(Lyin' to the races)(I'll take you there)]
Oh, no

Oh oh oh [(I′ll take you there)]
Mercy now [(I'll take you there)]
I′m callin' callin′ callin' mercy [(I′ll take you there)]
Mercy mercy [(I'll take you there)]
Let me [(I'll take you there)]

Oh oh, I′ll take you there
Oh oh oh oh
Wanna take you there
Just take me by the hand, let me
Let me, let me, let me lead the way, oh
Let me take you there

Ain′t no smilin' faces
Up in here, lyin′ to the races
You oughta, you gotta gotta come let me, let me
Take you, take you, take you over there

Ooh, oh, oh, all right
Oh-oh! All right!
