Album: Roger Miller (MCA 1986)

Muddy Water

Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for goin' someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

You can look for me when you see me comin'
I may be runnin' I don't know
I may be tired and runnin' fever
But I'll be headed South to the mouth of the Ohio

Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for goin' someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and rideWell, I been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrow's comin' in
But I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide someplace and find myself again

Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for goin' someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
