[Verse] 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'

[Chorus] 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

[Verse] 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." [Chorus] 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

[Bridge]

       G
Well I had a friend sid, "You watch what you do

Dadd Poison snake bites you and you're poison too" [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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

    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 Questions, commnent, insults...BlindTerry333
