Muddy Waters

(álbum: Silver - 1979)

Mary grab the baby river's rising mudy water taking back the land
Old frame house she can't take no 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 they say you just can't take 'em with you
The flood will swallow all you leave behind
Won't be back to start all over cause what I've held 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 lands broken farms around me muddy water's changing all I know
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...
That muddy water taking back my home
Muddy water's taking back my home muddy water taking back my home
