Don Rigsby - Muddy Water lyrics
Well it was on a Sunday morning On the eight day of July In the year of two thousand and one. Way down in McDowell County In the West Virginia hills Our lives were changed Before the day was done. The rain was steady falling Through the early morning dawn Wondered if it was ever gonna end. Lightening flashed around us And thunder shook the ground And I could hear the devil Laughing in the wind. Well rain kept on a fallin' And the creeks began to rise With a mighty force The we had never seen. From Keystone down to Landgraff And from Kimball down to Welch Muddy water washed away Our hopes and dreams. [Chorus] Muddy water can you hear me Can't you see what you have done? Can't you see you're not welcome here today? We work hard all our life time for what little bit we have Just to have you come and take it all away. Muddy water came and washed it all away. Some people blame the coalmines And timber in the stream And they called it The hundred year flood. We said it wouldn't happen For a another hundred years As we shoveled up The garbage and the mud. But less than ten months later On the second day of May The thunder clapped The rain began to fall. We'd ate the words we'd spoken Way back in July Muddy water You made liars of us all. Well we worked so hard to put back What you took away before Just to have you come And take it all again. Ten thousand people cried Seven people died I could hear the devil Laughing in the wind. [Chorus] Muddy water can you hear me Can't you see what you have done? Can't you see you're not welcome here today? We work hard all our life time for what little bit we have Just to have you come and take it all away. Muddy water came and washed it all away. |
