Mary, grab the baby, the river's rising |
|
Muddy water taking back the land |
|
The old-frame house, she can't take-a one more beating |
|
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand |
|
Well the morning light shows water in the valley |
|
Daddy's grave just went below the line |
|
Things to say, you just can't take em with ya |
|
This flood will swallow all you've left behind |
|
Won't be back to start all over |
|
Cause what i felt before is gone |
|
Mary, take the child, the river's rising |
|
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 |
|
Shifting land, broken farms around me |
|
Muddy water's changing all i know |
|
It's hard to say just what i'm losing |
|
Ain't never felt so all alone |
|
Mary, take the child, the river's rising |
|
Muddy water taking back my home |
|
Won't be back to start all over |
|
Cause what i felt before is gone |
|
Mary, take the child, the river's rising |
|
Muddy water's changing all i know |
|
Muddy water's changing all i know |
|
Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home |
