Moody River - Johnny Burnette

Moody river ooh ooh moody river ooh ooh

Moody river more deadly than the vainest knife

Moody river your muddy waters took my baby's life

Last saturday evening came to the old oak tree

It 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 that guy was just a friend

Moody river more deadly than the vainest knife

Moody river your muddy waters took my baby's life

I looked into the muddy waters and what could I see

I saw a lonely lonely face just looking back at me

Tears is his eyes and a prayer on his lips

A glove of his lost love at his fingertips

Moody river more deadly than the vainest knife

Moody river your muddy waters took my baby's life
