Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Look for me when you see me comin I may be runnin I don t know
I may be tired and runnin fever but I ll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Well I been down to the pain and sorrow I thought no tomorrow s comin in
So I put my pole to the river bottom
And I ve got to hide some place and find myself again
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
