Verse 1:
Fm             F
Just south of Atoka, that red river runs
   A#             Fm
That yellow moon hanging in the sky
                 F
Them stars started falling when I looked into her eyes
     A#                     Fm  F  A# Fm
And that night, we said forever and forever 'til we die

Verse 2:
Fm                F
Days, they faded into years and we lost track of time
A#                Fm
I was hers and no doubt she was mine
                  F
I was working for her daddy on that Okie-Texas line
A#           Fm
Working for a dollar, sweating for a dime


Chorus:
   F    A#
Ain’t love so sweet?
     A#          Fm
When it's right, oh, when it's clean
     F      A#
But that devil has a way
     A#             Fm
And that muddy water washed it all away


Verse 3:
Fm                  F
I saw the lies and silencе, I could see it in her eyes
A#               Fm
Shе’d never admit it, but her heart was cutting ties
                     F
One night, I had too much to drink and I found out what she did
 A#                Fm
I drug her down to that river and dropped her off that bridge


Chorus:
   F    A#
Ain't love so sweet?
     A#          Fm
When it's right, oh, when it's clean
     F      A#
But that devil has a way
     A#              Fm  F  A# Fm
And that muddy water washed her soul away

Bridge:
Fm                  F
I still hear her voice at night just pounding in my head
 A#              Fm
I gave 'em one more reason to call that river red


Chorus:
   F    A#
Ain't love so sweet?
     A#          Fm
When it's right, oh, when it's clean
     F      A#
But that devil has a way
     A#              Fm
And that muddy water washed her soul away

And that muddy water washed her soul away
