Moody River Lyrics By Pat Boone

    moody river wooh
    moody river wooh

    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
