The Osborne Brothers - Muddy bottom

^GA country boy don't perspire, and a ^Ccity girl don't sweat But ^Gany fool can tell you, either ^Done will make you wet Now ^GI found out the hard way, and ^CI can tell you yet You'll do o^Gne or the other ^Ddown in Muddy ^GBottom.

Muddy ^DBottom is a cornfield that my ^Gdaddy gave to me It ^Claid along a river bank, back ^Bmhome in Tennessee The ^Chottest place this side of where ^Gnobody wants to be Ruddy, cruddy, ^Dgood ole Muddy ^GBottom.

^GI hankered for the city and ^Call the city lights ^GSo I lit out to make my way and ^Dsee the city sights Now I ^Gcatch myself thinking through ^Clong hot city nights I'd be ^Gway better off back ^Ddown in Muddy ^GBottom.

Muddy ^DBottom ain't as lonely as a ^Gbusy city street And ^Crattlesnakes ain't half as mean, as ^Bmlots of folks I meet I've ^Ccome to the conclusion that ole ^GBottom's hard to beat Ruddy, cruddy, ^Dgood ole Muddy ^GBottom.

^GI sure do miss the river and my ^Csecret fishin' pool I ^Gmiss the girls I'd chase down through the c^Dornfield after school You ^Gmay not understand it but ^CI sure do miss my mule Now I ^Gwonder why I ^Dleft ole Muddy ^GBottom.
