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
