[Dadd]Billy had a mistress down on A and 12th
[Dadd]She was that little something that he did for himself
His [Dadd2]own little secret didn't hurt nobody
Come the [G]afternoon he'd take her wadin'
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
You s[G]tart out standing but end up crawlin' so[Dadd]nny
[Dadd]Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
[Dadd]This old friend he had a figure in mind
It was [Dadd2]nothing illegal just a little bit funn[Dadd]y
He said, "C'mon don't tell[G] 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
You [G]start on higher ground but end up crawlin' s[Dadd]onny
Well I [G]had a friend sid, "You watch what you do
Poison snake bites you and you're [Dadd]poison too"
[Dadd]How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing
[Dadd]But you and I we're messier things
There ain't [Dadd2]no one leavin' this world buddy
Without their[G] shirttail dirty
Or their hands bloody
[Dadd]And you're waist deep in the big muddy
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
You [G]start on higher ground but end up crawlin' s[Dadd]onny
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You [G]start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin[Dadd]' sonny
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
[Dadd]Waist deep in the big muddy
