Moody River Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Moody River more deadly than the vainest knife 

Moody River your muddy water took my baby's life 

Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree 

That 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 

[ piano ] 

Moody River more deadly... 

I looked into the muddy water and what could I see 

I saw a lonely lonely face just looking back at me 

Tears in his eyes and the prayer on his lips 

And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips 

[ piano ] 

Moody River more deadly...
