Baby’s gone and i don’t know why, she headed out this morning
Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky, she left me without warning

Sooner than the dogs could bark, faster than the sun rose
Down to the banks in an old mule cart, she took a flat boat across the shallows
Left me in my tears to drown, she left a baby daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and brown, she’s crossing muddy waters

Tobacco standing in the fields, be rotten come November
And a bitter heart will not reveal, a spring that love remembers

When that sweet brown girl of mine, hair black as a raven
We broke the bread and drank the wine, from a jug that she’d been saving
Left me in my tears to drown, she left a baby daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and brown, she’s crossing muddy waters

Baby’s crying and the daylight’s gone, that big oak tree is groaning
In a rush of wind and a river song, i can hear my true love moaning

Crying for her baby child, oh crying for her husband
Crying for that rivers wild, to take her from her loved ones
Left me in my tears to drown, she left a baby daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and brown, she’s crossing muddy waters
