Verse 1

C                      G7
Out into the moonlight I could never fail
                         C                Am
Down by the Turkey Creek to find that old trail
    C                     G7
The river she's a flowing I'm rememberin' the night
Before I knew where she was going
C
She was clean out of sight

Verse 2

           F     C        G7
That muddy water keeps on rolling
         Dm                            G7
Like the buffalo she just keeps moving on
C               F       C         G7
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
         Dm                         G7
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
                 C
She was here and gone

Verse 3

                                      G7
There ain't no magic in the moonlight no feelin' in the wind
                                        C                       Am
But I know the stars are just as bright somewhere around the bend
    C                         D7                     G7
She takes a bit of everything just whichever way she flows
                                C
Now a thought is all she brings and that's the way it goes

Verse 4

           F     C        G7
That muddy water keeps on rolling
         Dm                            G7
Like the buffalo she just keeps moving on
C               F       C         G7
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
         Dm                         G7
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
                 C
She was here and gone
