 -3 -3 -3  -3  3    -2  -1
Mood-y riv-er more dead-ly
 -3  -3   -3  -2   -1
Than the vain-est knife
 -3 -3 -3  -3  -3  -3  3  3  -2
Mood-y riv-er your mud-dy wa-ter
 -1  -2 -2  -2   -2
Took my ba-by's life

 -1  -2  -2  3  -3   -3
Last Sat-ur-day eve-ning
-3 -1  -1 -1  -2   3   -3
I came to the old oak tree
 -1    -1   -1  -2   3  -3  -3
That stands be-side the riv-er
 -3 3 -2   -2  -2   3  -2
Where you were to meet me
|5-55-3 3-2|
-1 -1    -2     3   -3  -3  -3
On the ground your glove I found
 -3 -3  -1  -1   -2    3  -3
With a note ad-dressed to me
-1  -1   -1   -2   3    -3  -3   -3
It read dear love I've done you wrong
-33 -2 -2  -2   3   -2
Now I must set you free
|5-55-3 3-2|

-1  -2  3  -3 -3  -3
No long-er can I live
 -3   -3   -1  -2    3  -3
With this hurt and this sin
-1 -1   -2    3   -3  -3
I just could-n't tell you
-3 3 -2  -2   -2  3   -2
That guy was just a friend

Mood-y riv-er more dead-ly
 -3  -3   -3  -2   -1
Than the vain-est knife
 -3 -3 -3  -3  -3  -3  3  3  -2
Mood-y riv-er your mud-dy wa-ter

Took my ba-by's life
|5-55-3 3-2|

-2  -1   -2 -2  3  -3  -3 -3 -3
I looked in-to the mud-dy wa-ter
-3   -1   -2   3 -3
And what could I see
-1 -1 -1 -2  3   -3  -3  -3
I saw a lone-ly lone-ly face 
-3 3  -2  -2   -2  -2 -2
Just look-in' back at me
|5-55-3 3-2|
  -1  -2  3   -3
Tears in his eyes
-3 -3   -1   -2  3   -3
And a prayer on his lips
-1  -1    -2  3  -3   -3   -33
And the glove of his lost love
-2 -2  -2   3   -2
At his fin-ger tips
|5-55-3 3-2|

 -3 -3 -3  -3  3    -2  -1
Mood-y riv-er more dead-ly

Than the vain-est knife

Mood-y riv-er your mud-dy wa-ter

Took my ba-by's life
