Crossing Muddy Waters lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Hiatt Album: Crossing Muddy Waters
Lyrics
My baby's gone and I don't know why She let out this morning Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky She left me without warning Sooner than the dogs could bark And faster than the sun rose Down to the banks on an old mule cart She took a flatboat across the shallow
Chorus: Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the water's wide and deep and brown She's 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 hair black as a raven We broke the bread and drank the wine From a jug that she'd been saving
Chorus
Baby's crying and the daylight's gone That big oak tree is groaning In rush of wind and a river of song I can hear my true love moaning Crying for a baby child Oh crying for her husband Crying for that river's wild To take her from her loved ones
Chorus twice
