muddy water

look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide, and i got a need for going some place, and i got a need to climb upon your back and ride, 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, so look out for me oh muddy water. well i been down to the pain and sorrow i thought no tomorrow's comin' in, so i put my pole to the river bottom, and i've got to hide some place and find myself again, look out for me oh muddy water. look out for me oh muddy water.
