ORIGINAL LYRICS
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"
Moody river, more
deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water 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 at his fingertips
Moody river, more
deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life
