Moody River - Johnny Rivers

Moody river more deadly than the natalest night

Moody river, your muddy water took my baby’s life.

Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree

That 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, 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 looking back at me.

Tears in his eyes and the prayer on his lips

And the glove of his lost love was at his fingertips.
