#1.
B7
Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
Em
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.

#2.
Em
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
       B7
addressed to me.
  B7
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
  Em
now I must set you free.

#3.
B7
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
 Em
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.

CHORUS:
Em
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.

Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#4.
 B7
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
 Em
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.

#5.
B7
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
Em
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.

CHORUS:
Em
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
Em
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

OUTRO: Em (x2) (Fade.)
