What was the #1 song when you were born?

[Virgo10]

June `1961 - "Moody River" by Pat Boone. Hmmm, do you think they mean "Moon" River?

Nope it's Moody River... one of those uplifting songs.


(Moody river moody river)
Moody river more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river your muddy water
Took my baby's life

Last saturday evening
I came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river
Where you were to meet me
On the ground your love I found
With a note addressed to me
It read dear love I've done you wrong
Now I must set you free

No longer can I live
With this hurt and this sin
I just couldn't tell you
That guy was just a friend

Moody river more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river your muddy water
Took my baby's life

I looked into the muddy water
And what could I see
I saw alonely lonely face just
Lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes
And a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love
At his finger tips

Moody river more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river your muddy water
Took my baby's life
