muddy waters - johnny cash lyrics

Loading...

mary, grab the baby, river’s rising,
muddy water taking back the land!
old frame house, she can’t take one more beating,
ain’t no use to stay and make a stand.

well, the morning light showed water in the valley,
daddy’s grave just went below the line!
things to save, you just can’t take ’em with you,
the flood’ll swallow all you leave behind.

[chorus:]
won’t be back to start all over,
’cause what i felt before is gone!
mary, take the child, river’s rising,
muddy water taking back my home.

[steel guitar solo]

the road is gone, there’s just one way to leave here,
turn my back on what i’ve left below-oh!
shifting lands, broken farms around me,
muddy waters changing all i know.

hard to say just what i’m losing,
ain’t never felt so all alone!
mary, take the child, river’s rising,
muddy water taking back my home.

[fiddle solo]

[chorus]

that muddy water taking back my home!
muddy waters taking back my home!
muddy water taking back my home.
