Eddy Arnold - Moody River lyrics

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...
