Osborne Brothers "Muddy Bottom" |
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) A contry boy don't perspite a city girl don't sweat But any fool can tell you either one'll 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 do miss the river and my secred fishin' pool I miss the girls I'd chase down through the cornfield after school You may not understand but I sure do 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... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
