Pat Boone - Moody River lyrics

rate me

(Moody river moody river)

Moody river more deadly

Than the vainest knife.

Moody river your muddy water

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 guy was just a friend.

Moody river more deadly

Than the vainest knife.

Moody river your muddy water

Took my baby's life.

I looked into the muddy waters

And what could I see?

I saw a lonely, lonely face just

Lookin' back at me.

Tears in his eyes

And a prayer on his lips

And the glove of his lost love

At his finger tips

Moody river more deadly

Than the vainest knife.

Moody river your muddy water

Took my baby's life.
