Muddy Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Daddy was clappin', Mama was cryin'
The Pentecost preacher was saying amen
Went down lost and came up found
Eleven years old, I was born again
Oh I, I found the answer in the river that day
Oh I, I saw the light, I saw the way
Falling back into that muddy water
Arms stretched out like angel wings
Everything's clear in that muddy water
This Kentucky daughter got her heart washed clean
In muddy water
Little girl's gone, got a big girl's life
And big girls have touch calls to make
Buy or rent, career or kids, is he really the one
Which fork to take
Sometimes it's all too much, I just can't see
Oh I, I know the place I need to be
Falling back into that muddy water
Arms stretched out like angel wings
Everything's clear in that muddy water
This Kentucky daughter got her heart washed clean
In muddy water
Oh muddy water, oh muddy water
Wash over me, set me free
Falling back into that muddy water
Arms stretched out like angel wings
Everything's clear in that muddy water
This Kentucky daughter got her heart washed clean
In muddy water
Falling back into that muddy water
Arms stretched out like angel wings
Everything's clear in that muddy water
This Kentucky daughter got her heart washed clean
In muddy water
In muddy water
That muddy water
Wash over me
Set me free
