Moody River more deadly
than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy river
took my baby's life
Em _ _ _ _ _ _B7
Last saturday evening
Em _ _ _ _ _ _B7
I came to the old oak tree
Em _ _ _ _ _ _B7
It stands beside the river
C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Em
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 your wrong
now i must set you free.
No longer can i live
with this hurt and this pain
I could never tell you
that guy was just a friend
Moody River more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy river
took my baby's life
I went down to the moody river
and what did i see
saw a lonely, lonely face
staring backing at me
Tears in his eyes
a prayer on his lips
and the glove of his lost love
lay at his fingertips
Moody River more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy river
took my baby's life
