          When the last rose of summer pricks my finger, And the hot sun chills me to the bone

When I can't tell hear the song for the singer, And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

I will walk alone by the black muddy river.  And sing me a song of my own

Verse 2           When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain

And the stars start to splatter in the sky

When the moon splits the southwest horizon

With the scream of an eagle on the fly

Chorus 2         I will walk alone by the black muddy river.  And listen to the ripples as they moan.

I will walk alone by the black muddy river.  And sing me a song of my own.

Verse 3           When it seems like the night will last forever, And there's nothing left to do but count the years

When the strings of my heart start to sever,  And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

Chorus 3         I will walk alone by the black muddy river.  And dream me a dream of my own.

I will walk alone by the black muddy river.  And sing me a song of my own.
