about

I've loved this song as performed by Doc Watson for a little while now - and I thought it would be a great cover song for on the album. This song was originally written in the early 60s by rockabilly artist Chase Webster. I wanted to make a recording that had a lot of lead guitars in it, but I ended up feeling satisfied with the mood created by the background harmonies. I hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Last saturday evening
I came to the old oaktree
It stands beside the river
Where you would a-meet me

On the ground your glove I found
With a note adressed to me
And it read "Dear love, I've done you wrong,
Now I must set you free"

Moody river, more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy waters
Took my baby's life

Looked into your muddy water
And what did I see
I saw a lonely lonely man
Just lookin' back at me

Tears in his eyes
And a prayer on his lips
And with the glove of his lost love
There at his finger tips

Moody river, more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy waters
Took my baby's life
Moody river, your muddy waters
Took my baby's life
