Muddy Bottom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A country boy don't perspire a city girl don't sweat
But any fool can tell you either one will make you wet
Now I found out the hard way and I can tell you yet
You'll do one or the other down on Muddy Bottom.
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me
It laid along a river bank back home in Tennessee
The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.
I hankered for the city and all the city lights
So I lit out to make my way and see the city sights
Now I catch myself thinking through long hot city nights
I'd be way better off back down in Muddy Bottom.
Muddy Bottom ain't as lonely as a busy city street
And rattlesnakes ain't half as mean as lots of folks I meet
I've come to the conclusion that ole Bottom's hard to beat
Ruddy cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.
--- Instrumental ---
I sure miss the river and the secret fishin' pool
Miss the girl I'd chase down through the cornfield after school
You may not understand it but I sure miss my mule
Now I wonder why I left ole Muddy Bottom.
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me
It laid along a river bank back home in Tennessee
The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.
Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom...
