The Muddy Waters of Time, by Bobby Wallisch Jr.

The Muddy Waters of Time by Bobby Wallisch Jr., released 16 January 2023 Last night I dreamed of Muddy Waters And of T-Bone Walker too They asked what’s up, pal, how are you doin’ Why do you look so blue? I was thinking of gone friends Of all the things I failed to do So many days spent on nonsense I said according to truth Today I’m grumpy and frumpy My shaky hand’s weak and cold Can’t smell, can’t hear and got clumsy I tell y’all, I done got old. But on the banks of the river I see long gone friends of mine And I realize that I’m sailing The muddy waters of time. Sure I got good days and bad days But I have moments of joy My body still loves sun rays I have the kids and my boy He makes me relive lost seasons Makes me see the world as new Oh son, if only I was given Just one more summer with you And on the banks of the river I see long gone friends of mine And I realize that I’m sailing – still sailing The muddy waters of time - of my time Once more sitting on Beale Street Seeing my life, son, in your eye Drinking some beers of sweet oblivion Looking into the blue sky And on the banks of the river I see long gone friends of mine And I realize that I’m sailing – forever sailing The muddy waters of time - of all times I’ve been around for quite a long time I tell y’all I done got old – I done got old But now my life makes a good rhyme And my heart is still bold And on the banks of the river I see long gone friends of mine And I realize that I’m sailing The muddy waters of time Last night I dreamed of Muddy Waters And of T-Bone Walker too They asked what’s up, pal, how are you doin’ Why do you look so cool? And on the banks of the river I see long gone friends of mine And I realize that I’m sailing – forever sailing The muddy waters of time - of all times I’ve been around for quite a long time I tell y’all I done got old – I done got old But now my life makes a good rhyme And my heart is still bold
