Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed 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 water took my baby’s life

I looked into your muddy waters and what did I see
I saw a lonely lonely man just looking back at me
Tears were in his eyes ang a prayer on his lips
And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips

[6m] Last Saturday [3maj] evening I [6m] came to the old oak [3maj] tree
It [6m] stands beside the [3maj] river where [4] you were to meet [1] me
[6m] On the ground your [3maj] glove I found with a [6m] note addressed to [3maj] me
And It [6m] read Dear Love I’ve [3maj] done you wrong [4] now I must set you [1] free

[3maj] Moody River [6m] more deadly [3maj] than the vainest [6m] knife
[3maj] Moody River your [1] muddy water [4] took my baby’s [1] life

I looked into your muddy waters and what did I see
I saw a lonely lonely man just looking back at me
Tears were in his eyes ang a prayer on his lips
And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips
