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 address 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 girl was just a friend   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 her eyes and the prayer on her lips   And the glove of her lost love at her fingertips   Moody River more deadly...
