D
There’s a river, a muddy, muddy river
                           A
That rolls right by my door
There’s a river, a muddy, muddy river
                       D
That rolls right by my door

D 
There sits my woman don’t think she ain’t
  G 
A little bit of devil, a little bit of saint
D 
I want to kiss her but I know I can’t
          A                          D
Cross the muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy river
          A                              A7                  D 
Cross the muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy river

Chorus

There sits my woman on the other side
Crying tears she can’t hide
I can’t walk and I can’t ride
Cross the muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy river

Chorus

There sits my woman, she knows I’m late
Hope her love don’t turn to hate
Just how long will a woman wait
Cross the muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy river
