Muddy Water

Out into the moonlight
I could never fall
Down by the turkey creek
To find that old trail
The river she’s a flowin'
I’m remembering the night
Before I knew she was goin'
She was clean outta sight
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
She was here and gone
There ain’t no magic in the moonlight
No feelin' in the wind
But I know that stars are just as bright
Somewhere around the bend
She takes a bit of everything
Just which ever way she flows
Now a thought is all she brings
And that’s the way it goes
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
She was here and gone
