Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone’s daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know, I’ll give her all
That I got forever and ever

She knows what I like, she knows what I need
And babe let me tell you she’ll give it all to me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, you gotta save it all for me

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know, I’ll give her all
That I got forever and ever

Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone’s daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water
