Lyrics:
by the Brazos
I courted my dear
Singing li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le,
on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li
Singing, li-de-li-de-li-oh-oh
Well, a-li-de-li-de-li-oh
Li-de-li-de-li-oh-oh
Well, a-li-de-li-de-li-oh
Well, the hills are pretty and rollin'
Singing, li-de-li-de-li-oh-oh
Well, a-li-de-li-de-li-oh
Li-de-li-de-li-oh-oh
Well, a-li-de-li-de-li-oh
Well, the hills are pretty and rollin'
Muddy knees have got me all a-quiver,
Muddy knees have got me all aglow,
Muddy knees have sent me for a paper,
To a newsstand near I know
only they would know
Li li li
Li li li, li li li li
Li li li
Li li li, li li li li
Li li li
Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for
you go from woman to woman
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log,
Yes, I would
I love you, baby, but you just won't be fair
I
Got buddy, my buddy,
God damn that boy pour muddy
My buddy, pour muddy
God damn that boy pour muddy
Muddy, muddy, muddy, muddy
God damn that boy pour
you go from woman to woman
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log,
Yes, I would
I love you, baby, but you just won't be fair
I
What'd you do, son?
I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, oh, but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me, yeah
But I must
you believe it or not,
I hear those breezes a-whispering, "Come on back to me!".
Muddy water round my feet,
Muddy water in the street,
Just Gods
Roll muddy river roll on muddy river roll on
I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean alone
Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee who's long been
inside I was crying With not even a clue of who, Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul where or what I would become
my pillow from a stone,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
Libera
Libera (libera), libera
Libera, libera, li-li-li-li-libera
Libera, libera, li-li-li-li-libera (libera, libera)
In the fields of central Iowa
In the east of Hardin County
On the muddy Iowa River
On an eighty acre farm
They never had a tractor
Just a plow horse
you believe it or not,
I hear those breezes a-whispering, "Come on back to me!".
Muddy water round my feet,
Muddy water in the street,
Just Gods
Rise up
Rise in the morning
Sing your song in all its glory
Li Li, Li Li, Li Li Li...
Sing high
Take it to the sky
Sing like the sound if
(Moody river, moody river)
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life
Last Saturday
, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand
Singing li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
Li
believe or not
I hear those breeze a-whispering:
"Come on back to me"
Muddy water 'round my feet
Muddy water in the street
Just God don't shelter
Down
believe or not
I hear those breeze a-whispering:
"Come on back to me"
Muddy water 'round my feet
Muddy water in the street
Just God don't shelter
Down
to the band
Good blues-stringin'
Heaven-fine singin'
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Been lis'nin' to your playin'
Heaven done called
