Lyrics

I come down the muddy water with the sun high above my back
and I feel there's eyes upon me but I can't say it for a fact
mystery its a mystery how I wonder what's around that bend
maybe nothin I hope its nothin but I can't see that is clear to me the end

well I come down from Cincinnati and I drank in old Cairo
there I left trouble behind me and its far I need to go
mystery its a mystery how i wonder whats around that bend
maybe nothin I hope its nothin but I can't see that is clear to me
ohh the end

All my life I have gone through thorn bushes
just to see the other side
men afraid of me women hated me
oh lord how I've tried how I've tried

Well I don't know where I'm going I don't think of where I've been
I'm a wonderer and lonely and I know one day this all will end
mystery its a mystery how I wonder what's around that bend
maybe nothin I hope its nothin but I can't see that is clear to me
oh the end
