Moody river, more deadly

Than the vainest knife
Moody river

your muddy water

Took my baby's life
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
Moody river, more deadly

Than the vainest knife
Moody river

your muddy water

Took my baby's life
I looked into

the muddy waters and

what could I see
I saw a lonely,

lonely face just

looking back at me
Tears in his eyes

And a prayer on his lips
And the glove of

his lost love

At his fingertips
Moody river, more deadly

Than the vainest knife
Moody river

your muddy water

Took my baby's life
