 (J. Bundrick) 
Mary, grab the baby, the river`s rising 
Muddy water taking back the land 
The old-frame house, she can`t take-a one more
beating 
Ain`t no use to stay and make a stand 
Well the morning light shows water in the valley 
Daddy`s grave just went below the line 
Things to say, you just can`t take em with ya 
This flood will swallow all you`ve left behind 
Won`t be back to start all over 
Cause what I felt before is gone 
Mary, take the child, the river`s rising 
Muddy water taking back my home 
The road is gone, there`s just one way to leave
here 
Turn my back on what I`ve left below 
Shifting land, broken farms around me 
Muddy water`s changing all I know 
It`s hard to say just what I`m losing 
Ain`t never felt so all alone 
Mary, take the child, the river`s rising 
Muddy water taking back my home 
Won`t be back to start all over 
Cause what I felt before is gone 
Mary, take the child, the river`s rising 
Muddy water`s changing all I know 
Muddy water`s changing all I know 
Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home
