Muddy Waters

Mary, grab the baby, rivers rising

Muddy waters taking back the land

Old frame house, she can't take one more beating

Ain't no use to stay and make a stand

Morning lite shown water in the valley

Daddy's grave just went below the line things to save you

Just can take them with you mud'll swallow all you leave behind

Won't be back to start all over

Cause what I felt before is gone

Oh Mary, take the child, the river's rising

Muddy waters, taking back my home

The road is gone, there's just one way to leave here

Turn my back on what I left below

Shifting lands and broken farms all around me

Muddy waters changing all I know Hard to say just what I losing

Ain't never felt so alone

Mary, take the child, the rivers are rising

Muddy water's taking back my home

Muddy water's taking back

My home
