Johnny Rivers - Moody River lyrics
[Johnny Rivers - Moody River lyrics]
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 more deadly than
The natalest night 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
Moody river more deadly than
The natalest night moody river
Your muddy water took my baby's life
Moody river more deadly than
The natalest night moody river
Your muddy water took my baby's life
