Muddy Water

(J. Bundrick) 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
