John Hiatt - Crossing muddy waters
------------------------------------------

My baby?s gone and I don?t know why
She let out this morning
Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
Left me without warning
Sooner than the dogs could bark
And faster than the sun rose
Down to the banks in an old mule car
She took a flatboat across the shallow

Chorus:
Left me in my tears to drown
She left a baby daughter
Now the water?s wide and deep and brown
She?s crossing muddy waters

Tobacco standing in the fields
Be rotten come november
And a bitter heart will not reveal
A spring that love remembers
When that sweet brown girl of mine
Her black eyes are ravens
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 rush of wind and river of song
I can hear my sweetheart moaning
Crying for her baby child
Or crying for her husband
Crying for that river?s wild
To take her from her loved ones

Chorus twice
