Muddy Water

[Huck (spoken)]
Jim, get up! They're after us—we ain't got a minute to lose!

[Jim (spoken)]
I ain't got all the provisions aboard yet!

[Huck (spoken)]
Forget that! Just shove 'er out, now lay into that pole, Jim!

[Jim]
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

You can look for me when you see me comin'
I may be runnin', I don't know
I may be tired and a-runnin' fever
But I'll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio

[Jim and Huck]
So look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

[Jim]
Well I've been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrows comin' in
But I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide someplace and find myself again

[Jim and Huck]
So look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

Look out for me (Look out for me)
Oh muddy water (Oh muddy water)
Your mysteries are deep and wide
Said I got a need (I got a need)
For goin' someplace (For goin' someplace)
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 someplace
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Ride
