Keluar ke bawah sinar bulan
I could never fall
Aku tak pernah jatuh
Down by the turkey creek
Di tepi sungai Turkey
To find that old trail
Mencari jalur tua itu
The river she's a flowin'
Sungai itu mengalir
I'm remembering the night
Aku mengingat malam itu
Before I knew she was goin'
Sebelum aku tahu dia pergi
She was clean outta sight
Dia sudah tak terlihat lagi
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Air keruh itu terus mengalir
Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on
Seperti bison yang terus melangkah
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Dari kota bayou, hatiku dicuri
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
Seperti air yang mengalir bersama pasang surut
She was here and gone
Dia ada, lalu pergi
There ain't no magic in the moonlight
Tak ada sihir di bawah sinar bulan
No feelin' in the wind
Tak ada rasa di angin
But I know that stars are just as bright
Tapi aku tahu bintang-bintang tetap bersinar
Somewhere around the bend
Di suatu tempat di tikungan
She takes a bit of everything
Dia mengambil sedikit dari segalanya
Just which ever way she flows
Apa pun arah alirannya
Now a thought is all she brings
Sekarang hanya pikiran yang dia bawa
And that's the way it goes
Dan begitulah adanya
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Air keruh itu terus mengalir
Like the buffalo she keeps movin' on
Seperti bison yang terus melangkah
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Dari kota bayou, hatiku dicuri
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
Seperti air yang mengalir bersama pasang surut
She was here and gone
Dia ada, lalu pergi
