out into the moonlight i could never fail down by the turkey creek to find that old trail the river she s a flowin i m rememberin the night before i knew she was goin she was clean outta sight chrorus that muddy water keeps on rollin like the buffalo she just keeps movin on from that bayou town my heart was stolen like the water rollin out with the tide she was here and gone instrumental there ain t no magic in the moonlight no feelin in the wind but i know the stars are just as bright somewhere around the bend she takes a bit of everthin just which ever way she flows now a thought is all she brings and that s the way it goes chrorus that muddy water keeps on rollin like the buffalo she just keeps movin on from that bayou town my heart was stolen like the water rollin out with the tide she was here and gone
