Текст песни: Crossing Muddy Waters + перевод

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

Faster than the sun rose

Down to the banks on an old mule car

She took a flat boat ‘cross the shallows

CHORUS:

Left me in my tears to drown

She left a baby daughter

Now the river’s wide and deep and brown

She’s crossing muddy waters

Tobacco standing in my fields

Be rotten come November

And bitter heart will not reveal

A spring that love remembers

When that sweet brown girl of mine

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 a rush of wind and a river of song

I can hear my true love moaning

Crying for her baby child

Oh crying for her husband

Crying for that river’s wild

To take her from her loved ones

CHORUS

Now the river’s wide and deep and brown

She’s crossing muddy waters
