Moody River Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Moody River more deadly than the natalest night 

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 address 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 girl was just a friend 

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 her eyes and the prayer on her lips 

And the glove of her lost love at her fingertips 

Moody River more deadly...
