Moody River Lyrics - The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again - John Fogerty

Moody river more deadly 

Than the vainest knife 

Moody river your muddy waters 

Took my baby's life 

Last Saturday evening 

I 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 waters 

Took my baby's life 

I looked into the muddy water 

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 

Was at his fingertips 

Moody river more deadly 

Than the vainest knife 

Moody river your muddy waters 

Took my baby's life 

Moody river more deadly 

Than the vainest knife 

Moody river your muddy waters 

Took my baby's life
