Muddy Water

Last night, there came a flood
Now the river’s up and I can’t across a' my baby
Last night, there came a flood
Now the river’s up and I can’t across a' my baby
I’ve got to tell her that I love her
Or the muddy water gonna' wash our love away
My baby put me down
Now she’s on the bank with a man an' a fishin' pole
My baby put me down
Now she’s on the bank with a man an' a fishin' pole
I tried to tell her that I love her
But the muddy water done washed our love away
Yes
Well, well, muddy water — well, well, well, muddy water
Well, well, muddy water — well, well, well, muddy water
I tried to tell her that I love her
But that muddy water done washed our love away
Ooh, today the sun is shinin'
An' the river’s down, but I still can’t get to my baby
Today the sun is shinin'
An' the river’s down, but I still can’t get to my baby
I tried to tell her that I love her
But that muddy water done washed our love away
Well, well, muddy water — well, well, well, muddy water
Well, well, muddy water — well, well, well, muddy water
I tried to tell her that I love her
But that muddy water done washed our love away
I tried to tell her that I love her
But that muddy water done washed our love away
Hey, hey, hey
Well, muddy water — Well, muddy water
Well, muddy water — Yes, muddy water
Well, muddy water — Muddy water — Muddy water
