Intro
Verse 1
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
And it read "Dear Love, I've
done you wrong, now I must set
you free"
Chorus
Moody River, more deadly than
the vainest knife
Moody River, your muddy water
took my baby's life
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
I looked into your muddy waters
and what did I see
I saw a lonely, lonely man just
looking back at me
Tears were in his eyes and a
prayer on his lips
And with the glove of his lost
love there at his finger tips
Chorus
Moody River, more deadly than
the vainest knife
Moody River, your muddy water
took my baby's life
Outro
Moody River, your muddy waters
took my baby's life
