Muddy Waters

Mary grab the baby river's risin' mudy water taking back the land

Old frame house she can't take no more beatin' ain't no use to stay and make a stand

Well the morning light showed water in the valley

Daddy's grave just went below the line

Things they say you just can't take 'em with you

The flood will swallow all you leave behind

Won't be back to start all over cause what I've held before is gone

Mary take the child the river's risin' muddy water taking back my home

The road is gone there's just one way to leave here

Turn my back on what I've left below

Shiftin' lands broken farms around me muddy water's changin' all I know

Hard to say just what I'm losin' ain't never felt so all alone

Mary take the child the river's risin' muddy water taking back my home

Won't be back to start...

That muddy water taking back my home

Muddy water's taking back my home muddy water taking back my home
