G               C
baby's gone and i don't know why
   D        Em
she headed out this morning
               C
like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
   D        G
she left me without warning

G               C
sooner than the dogs could bark
D        Em
faster than the sun rose
               C
down to the banks in an old mule cart
   D        G
she took a flat boat 'cross the shallows

C
left me in my tears to drown
   D       Em
she left a baby daughter
                  C
now the river's wide and deep and brown
    D       G
she's crossing muddy waters

G               C
tobacco standing in the fields
 D        Em
be rotten come november
               C
and a bitter heart will not reveal
   D        G
a spring that love remembers

when that sweet brown girl of mine
hair black as a raven
we broke the bread and drank the wine
from a jug that she'd been saving

C
left me in my tears to drown
   D       Em
she left a baby daughter
                  C
now the river's wide and deep and brown
    D       G
she's crossing muddy waters

baby's crying and the daylight's gone
that big oak tree is groaning
in a rush of wind and a river song
i can hear my true love moaning

crying for her baby child
oh crying for her husband
crying for that rivers wild
to take her from her loved ones

C
left me in my tears to drown
   D       Em
she left a baby daughter
                  C
now the river's wide and deep and brown
    D       G
she's crossing muddy waters
                  C
now the river's wide and deep and brown
    D       G
she's crossing muddy waters
