Moody River Lyrics

Moody river more deadly Than the vainest knife Moody river your muddy waters Took my baby's life
Last Saturday evening I 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 waters Took my baby's life
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 Was at his fingertips
Moody river more deadly Than the vainest knife Moody river your muddy waters Took my baby's life
Moody river more deadly Than the vainest knife Moody river your muddy waters Took my baby's life
