It is 2021, and I still love listening to this song

Sharp, smokey blues; puts me in mind of long summer nights and the thick heat of a thunderstorm. Lovely song...

I am in love with this song so so much! I can't stop listening to it!

You had my heart at the line in the begining about the joker card. Then it just gets even better.

I love this song so much! The whole album's got a great sensual vibe and this song's the best! Listening to the jazzy sound feels like suddenly being able to breathe freely!

I desperately need an intrumental/ karaoke version of this song STAT it's been my favorite song for YEARS I tell everyoe I know about it

Very different from what I am used to from this artist, in a very good way. I like almost everything I have heard from S.J. Tucker and this entire album is no exception to that rule.

I come from the land of the wild river gods Where the Joker was never a throwaway card. Better keep this in mind when you bank on the odds, Or I'll wash your soul away. My mother the moon, my father the tide Gave me wisdom enough to be nobody's bride. You may think that you're tough, sugar. Swallow your pride Or I'll wash your soul away. I won't mean to do it. I just take it as it comes When the black rain falls and the west wind hums. But you cannot stop the river if she decides Tonight's her night to rise. I am more than a prize to be won by your smile. I'm a wind and a storm and a wild river child. If you've got what it takes, we could talk for a while 'Til I wash your soul away Sirens may sing, prophets decry, Hucksters all claim that they'll teach you to fly. In the time that it takes just to form your reply I will wash your soul away. So help me, I'm a wild, wild river. So help me, I'm a wild, wild river child. I won't mean to do it. I just take it as it comes When the black rain falls and the west wind hums I won't mean to hurt you when I do what I do But you can't stop the river. With my brother the mud, my sister the air I will walk with the flood like a captain's despair. See, I don't suffer fools. I've seen more than my share, And I'll wash your soul away. Hold onto me tightly. Let 'em all stare. The dance floor is ours, and we make quite the pair, But I'm telling you once and for all, have a care. I've a heart that's bound to stray. They don't call me River for nothing. I will wash your soul away. So help me, I'm a wild, wild river. So help me, I'm a wild, wild river child.
