Eddy Arnold - Moody River lyrics

Moody River more deadly than the vainest knife

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

[ piano ]

Moody River more deadly...

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 at his fingertips

[ piano ]

Moody River more deadly...
