Verse 1
Em B7 Em B7
Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree
Em B7 C G G6
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
Em B7 Em B7
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me
Em B7 C G G6
And it read "Dear Love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free"
Chorus
B7 Em B7 Em
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife
B7 G GGCB G G6
Moody River, your muddy water took my baby's life

Tears were in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
Em B7 C G G6
And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips
