[Verse 1]
I'm going down to the river
Going to take me my rocking chair
Going down to the river
Going to take me my rocking chair
And if those blues don't leave me
Going to rock on away from here

[Verse 2]
If you want me woman
Please don't act so shy
And if you want me woman
Please don't pass me by
I love those sideways glances
Your shoulder and your thigh

[Chorus]
I see inside your eyes
The Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

[Verse 3]
So if you're still busy hiding
What it is you've got?
And if you're frightened of losing
When you like a lot
You may be cruising backwards
While thinking that you're not

[Chorus]
I see inside your eyes
The Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

[Verse 4]
So if you don't get the picture
You won't know what I feel
If you don't get the picture
Then you won't have a depth of field
You may be going someplace
Some place you've already been

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
