This song is a cover of the 1950 country song Release Me (And Let Me Love Again) by Eddie Miller and His Oklahomans. Chenier covered the song in 1970 putting his Louisiana Blues/Zydeco twist on the song.
[Chorus]
Release me
Woah would you let me go
Because I
I don't Love you anymore
[Verse 1]
True love forever die
Is a sin
So release me
[?] To let me go
[Refrain]
I-
Still find me a true love girl
And I'll always, always, always, always
Always want you near me
[Chorus]
Release me
Woah would you let me go
'Cause I
Don’t love you anymore
Woah
(instrumental)
[refrain]
Woah
Well I still find me a true love girl
And I’ll always, always, always, always
Always want you near me
[Chorus]
Rеlease me
Woah, would you lеt me go
'Cause I
Don't love you anymore
Release Me was written by Eddie Miller & Robert Yount & Dub Williams.
