Moody River Lyrics

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"
horus
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody River, your muddy water took my baby's life
Instrumental reak
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
horus
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody River, your muddy water took my baby's life
Moody River, your muddy waters took my baby's life
