The song came and went Like the times that we spent Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent I laughed and she'd smile It would last for a while You don't know what you got till you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break Every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill From the air till they play the last song I'll do my time Keeping you off my mind But there's moments that I find I'm not feeling so strong
Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break Every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore She did love the sound of a summer storm It played on the lake like a mandolin Now it's washing her away once again
The boat's steaming in I watch the sidewheel spin And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow I can't change my mind I knew all the time That she'd go But that's a choice I made long ago
Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break Every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
-----
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't 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 I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon hits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly 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
Black muddy river, roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll
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 begin to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears 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, sing me a song of my own
