John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters Lyrics

Font:

Align:

My babys gone and I dont know why

She let out this morning

Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky

Left me without warning

Sooner than the dogs could bark

And faster than the sun rose

Down to the banks in an old mule car

She took a flatboat across the shallow

Chorus:

Left me in my tears to drown

She left a baby daughter

Now the waters wide and deep and brown

Shes crossing muddy waters

Tobacco standing in the fields

Be rotten come november

And a bitter heart will not reveal

A spring that love remembers

When that sweet brown girl of mine

Her black eyes are ravens

We broke the bread and drank the wine

From a jug that shed been saving

Chorus

Babys crying and the daylights gone

That big oak tree is groaning

In rush of wind and river of song

I can hear my sweetheart moaning

Crying for her baby child

Or crying for her husband

Crying for that rivers wild

To take her from her loved ones

Chorus twice
