Letra da Música Moody River de Johnny Rivers

Refrain:
Moody river, more deadly than the vanest knife,
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life.

Last Saturday evenin’, 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."

Oooh oooh

"No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
"I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend."

Repeat Refrain

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 at his finger tips.

Repeat Refrain
