When the last rose of summer
pricks my fingers
And the hot sun chills me to the
bone
When I can't tell hear the song
for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a
stone
Chorus
I will walk alone by the black
muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black
muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine
hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter
in the sky
When the moon splits the
southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on
the fly
Chorus And listen to the ripples as they
moan
Bridge
Black muddy river
Roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide
If you got another side
Roll muddy river
Roll muddy river
Black muddy river roll
Lead
Bridge
When it seems like this night
will last forever
And there's nothing left to do
but count the years
When the strings of my heart
start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes
instead of tears
Chorus + And sing me a song of my
own
