as "approximately sung" in Eugene, Oregon, April 30th 1992 (transcription clearly unfinished) [When the last rose of???] summer [pricks????] my finger [And the hot sun chills me???] in the bone And I can't tell the song from the singer [And I can't tell my pillow from a stone]???? I will walk alone by the black muddy river Dream me a dream 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 [????] hits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly. I will walk alone by the black muddy river An' listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river Dream me a dream of my own. Muddy river, roll on forever 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 that the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the tears And my strings of my heart start to shiver And stones fall from my eyes as my tears. I will walk alone by the black muddy river Listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river Dream me a dream of my own Dream me a dream of my own.
