Out into the moonlight |
|
I could never fail |
|
Down by the turkey creek |
|
To find that old trail. |
|
The river she's a flowin' |
|
I'm rememberin' the night |
|
Before I knew she was goin' |
|
She was clean outta sight. |
|
Chrorus: |
|
That muddy water keeps on rollin' |
|
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on |
|
From that bayou town my heart was stolen |
|
Like the water rollin' out with the tide |
|
She was here and gone. |
|

|
There ain't no magic in the moonlight |
|
No feelin' in the wind |
|
But I know the stars are just as bright |
|
Somewhere around the bend |
|
She takes a bit of everthin' |
|
Just which ever way she flows |
|
Now a thought is all she brings |
|
And that's the way it goes. |
|
Chrorus: |

That muddy water keeps on rollin' |
|
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on |
|
From that bayou town my heart was stolen |
|
Like the water rollin' out with the tide |
|
She was here and gone... |
