[Intro]

F C Gm C F

[Verse 1]

Out into the moonlight

I could never fail

Down by the turkey creek

To find that old trail

The river she's a flowin'

I'm rememberin' the night

Before I knew she was goin'

She was clean outta sight

[Chorus]

F A# F C

That muddy water keeps on rollin'

Gm C

Like the buffalo, she keeps movin' on

F A# F C

From that bayou town my heart was stolen

Gm C

Like the water rollin' out with the tide

She was here and gone

[Bridge]

F C Gm C F

[Verse 2]

There ain't no magic in the moonlight

No feelin' in the wind

But I know the stars are just as bright

F Dm

Somewhere around the bend

She takes a bit of everthin'

Just which ever way she flows

Now a thought is all she brings

And that's the way it goes

[Chorus]

F A# F C

That muddy water keeps on rollin'

Gm C

Like the buffalo, she keeps movin' on

F A# F C

From that bayou town my heart was stolen

Gm C

Like the water rollin' out with the tide

She was here and gone

[Outro]
