Edit By: 216.73.216.4

(j. bundrick)

Mary, grab the baby, the rivers rising
Muddy water taking back the land
The old-frame house, she cant take-a one more beating
Aint no use to stay and make a stand

Well the morning light shows water in the valley
Daddys grave just went below the line
Things to say, you just cant take em with ya
This flood will swallow all youve left behind

Wont be back to start all over
Cause what I felt before is gone

Mary, take the child, the rivers rising
Muddy water taking back my home
The road is gone, theres just one way to leave here
Turn my back on what Ive left below
Shifting land, broken farms around me
Muddy waters changing all I know

Its hard to say just what Im losing
Aint never felt so all alone

Mary, take the child, the rivers rising
Muddy water taking back my home

Wont be back to start all over
Cause what I felt before is gone

Mary, take the child, the rivers rising
Muddy waters changing all I know
Muddy waters changing all I know
Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home
