Lyrics:
I went down to the muddy riverWhere the blind fish do swimI saw the face on the drowning moonAnd I nearly jumped inSad sirens on the waterThey call to me through the nightThey sing of you, their song is blueAnd so is the painIt 's been so longOh Lord, won't you help meNow I'm in such distressMy song is blue, and so are youThat's why I'm in such a messIt 's been so longOut in the moonlightBeside Macadam highwayYou put out your thumb, Maggie BabyYou sure went a long wayThe neon angel passed you byHe said old river seemed to sighSeparated, from you pastWe sometimes dieIt 's been so long
