(Moody river,
moody river)

CHORUS
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"

CHORUS

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
