Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for goin someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
You can look for me when you see me comin
I may be runnin I dont know
I may be tired and runnin fever
But Ill 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 goin someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Well, I been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrows comin in
But I put my pole to the river bottom
And Ive got to hide someplace and find myself again
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for goin someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
