1
Mary, grab the baby, the river's rising
2
Muddy water taking back the land
3
The old-frame house, she can't take-a one more beating
4
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand
5
Well the morning light shows water in the valley
6
Daddy's grave just went below the line
7
Things to say, you just can't take em with ya
8
This flood will swallow all you've left behind
9
Won't be back to start all over
10
Cause what I felt before is gone
11
Mary, take the child, the river's rising
12
Muddy water taking back my home
13
The road is gone, there's just one way to leave here
14
Turn my back on what I've left below
15
Shifting land, broken farms around me
16
Muddy water's changing all I know
17
It's hard to say just what I'm losing
18
Ain't never felt so all alone
19
Mary, take the child, the river's rising
20
Muddy water taking back my home
21
Won't be back to start all over
22
Cause what I felt before is gone
23
Mary, take the child, the river's rising
24
Muddy water's changing all I know
25
Muddy water's changing all I know
26
Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home
