Mary, grab the baby, the river's risin'
C            Dm              E     E7
Muddy water, takin' back the land
    Am                    E                   Am       Am7
The ol' framed house, she can't take one more beatin'

And daddy's grave just went below the line
Am              E                       Am        Am7
Things to save, you just can't take 'em with you
     C                  E                 Am    Am7
This flood will swallow all you've left behind

Muddy water, takin' back my home

   Ain't never felt so all alone
