((Moody river
((Moody river

Moody river more deadly
than the vainest knife
Moode river your muddy water
took my baby's life

Last saterday 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 hurt and this sin"
"I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"

Moody river more deadly
than the vainest knife
Moode river your muddy water
took my baby's life

I loo ked 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
Moode river your muddy water
took my baby's life
