Kitty Wells - Moody River lyrics
[Kitty Wells - Moody River lyrics]
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
