Muddy Water |
| Mary, grab the baby, the river’s rising |
| Muddy water taking back the land |
| The old-frame house, she can’t take-a one more beating |
| Ain’t no use to stay and make a stand |
| Well the morning light shows water in the valley |
| Daddy’s grave just went below the line |
| Things to say, you just can’t take em with ya This flood will swallow all you’ve left behind |
| Won’t be back to start all over |
| Cause what I felt before is gone |
| Mary, take the child, the river’s rising |
| Muddy water taking back my home |
| The road is gone, there’s just one way to leave here |
| Turn my back on what I’ve left below |
| Shifting land, broken farms around me Muddy water’s changing all I know |
| It’s hard to say just what I’m losing |
| Ain’t never felt so all alone |
| Mary, take the child, the river’s rising |
| Muddy water taking back my home |
| Won’t be back to start all over |
| Cause what I felt before is gone |
| Mary, take the child, the river’s rising |
| Muddy water’s changing all I know |
| Muddy water’s changing all I know |
| Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home |
