Look out for me
Oh muddy water
Your mysteries
Are deep and wide
And I got a need
For going some place
And I got a need
To climb upon your back and ride
Look for me
When you see me coming
I may be running I don't know
I may be tired
And running fever
But I'll be headed south
To the mouth of the Ohio
So look out for me
Oh muddy water
Your mysteries
Are deep and wide
And I got a need
For going some place
And I got a need
To climb upon your back and ride
Well I been down
To the pain and sorrow
I thought no tomorrow's coming in
So I put my pole
To the river bottom
And I've got to hide some place
And find myself again
Look out for me
Oh muddy water
Your mysteries
Are deep and wide
And I got a need
For going some place
And I got a need
To climb upon your back and ride
Look out for me
Oh muddy water
Your mysteries
Are deep and wide
And I got a need
For going some place
And I got a need
To climb upon your back and ride
