Dadd
Billy had a mistress down on A and 12th
Dadd
She was that little something that he did for himself
    Dadd2
His own little secret didn't hurt nobody
         G                               
Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'

Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy
Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy  
     G                                       Dadd
You start out standing but end up crawlin' sonny


Dadd
Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
Dadd
This old friend he had a figure in mind
       Dadd2                                 Dadd
It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny
                          G
He said, "C'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know sonny

Sooner or later it ll comes down to money."

Dadd
And you're waist deep in the big muddy
Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy      
    G                                           Dadd
You start on higher ground but end up crawlin' sonny


       G
Well I had a friend sid, "You watch what you do
                                  Dadd
Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"

Dadd
How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing
Dadd
But you and I we're messier things
            Dadd2
There ain't no one leavin' this world buddy
             G
Without their shirttail dirty

Or their hands bloody

Dadd
And you're waist deep in the big muddy
Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy      
    G                                           Dadd
You start on higher ground but end up crawlin' sonny

Dadd
Waist deep in  the big muddy

Waist deep in the big muddy
    G                                                Dadd
You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin' sonny

Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy
Dadd
Waist deep in the big muddy
