Moody River

Lyrics

[Intro] Moody river Moody river [Chorus] Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life [Verse 1] Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree It stands beside the river where you were to meet me On the ground, your glove I found with a note addressed to me It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free" No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend" [Chorus] Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life [Verse 2] I looked into the muddy water and what could I see? I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips [Chorus] Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life [Outro] Moody river Moody river Moody river Moody river I ain't going swimming on air, baby
