Lyrics Black Muddy River - Grateful Dead
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
splits
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
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
start
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
And
sing
me
a
song
of
my
own
