Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, oh, mmm

[Chorus]

I know a place

Uh, ain't nobody cryin'

Ain't nobody worried, no

Ain't no smilin' faces, mmm, no, no

Lyin' to the races

[Bridge]

Help me, come on, come on

Somebody help me now (I'll take you there)

Help me, y'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, play, play, play your, play your piano now

Alright, ah, do it, do it, come on, now

Play on it, play on it, big daddy, now

Daddy, daddy, daddy, play your, mmm

Ooh, Lord, alright now

Baby, little Davey, easy now, help me out

Come on, little Davey, alright

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Sock it, sock it, ah, oh, ah

[Chorus]

I know a place, y'all (I'll take you there)

Ain't nobody cryin', alright (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)

[Outro]

Oh, no, no, oh (I'll take you there)

Oh, oh, oh (I'll take you there)

Mercy now (I'll take you there)

I'm callin', callin', callin' for 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 (I'll take you there)

Oh, I wanna take you there (I'll take you there)

Just take me by the hand, let me (I'll take you there)

Let me, let me, let me, let me lead, lead the way, oh (I'll take you there)

Let me take you there (I'll take you there)

Let me take you there (I'll take you there)

Ain't no smilin' faces (I'll take you there)

Up in here, lyin' to the races (I'll take you there)

You oughta, you gotta, gotta, gotta let me, let me (I'll take you there)

Take you, take you, take you over there (I'll take you there)

Ooh, oh, oh, alright (I'll take you there)

Oh, alright (I'll take you there)

Oh, oh (I'll take you there)

Ah, oh, yeah (I'll take you there)

Oh, yeah (I'll take you there)

Let me lead the way (I'll take you there)

Let me, let me, let me lead the way (I'll take you there)

Oh, mmm (I'll take you there)

You won't have to pay, oh, oh, no
