The Wild Ripplin Waters

Michael Martin Murphey with Suzy Boggus.
Suzy only sang the second female part
(female singer's Part)
*both singers line*


As I Was Out Walking And Ramblin' One Day
I Spied A Fair Couple A Comin' My Way
One Was A Lady As Fair As Can Be
And The Other Was A Cowboy
And A Brave One Was He

He Said Where Are You Going My Pretty Fair Maid

(Just Down By The River Just Down By The Shade)
(Just Down By The River Just Down By The Shade)
(Just Down By The River Just Down By The Spring)
(To See The Wild Ripplin' Waters And Hear The Nightingale Sing)

Well They Hadn't Been There But An Hour Or So
Till He Drew From His Satchel A Fiddle And A Bow
He Tuned His Fiddle All On The High String
And He Played This Tune Over And Over Again

Then Said The Cowboy I Should Have Been Gone
(No No Said The Pretty Maid Just Play One More Song)
(I'd Rather Hear The Fiddle Just Played On One String)

*both singers sing this line*
Then See The Wild Rippln Water And Hear The Nightingale Sing

(Fade out while playing the
Fiddle on the first line of home on the range)
