Transposer:

From the album "Third generation blues" Chords EADGBe G6 320030 [Intro] [Verse 1] Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree It stands beside the river where you were to meet me On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me And it read "Dear Love I’ve done you wrong now I must set you free" [Chorus] Moody River more deadly than the vainest knife Moody River your muddy water took my baby’s life [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I looked into your muddy waters and what did I see I saw a lonely lonely man just looking back at me Tears were in his eyes and a prayer on his lips And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips [Chorus] Moody River more deadly than the vainest knife Moody River your muddy water took my baby’s life [outro] Moody River your muddy waters took my baby’s life

La chanson évoque une rencontre tragique près d'un vieux chêne, où le protagoniste découvre un gant et une lettre de son amante, lui annonçant qu'elle le quitte pour le libérer de ses souffrances. Ses larmes et sa solitude sont palpables alors qu'il plonge son regard dans les eaux troubles de la rivière, symbole de son chagrin, qui a déjà englouti sa bien-aimée. Le contraste entre la beauté du paysage et la douleur qu'il ressent crée une atmosphère poignante, illustrant la lutte intérieure d'un homme face à la perte.
