Now down by the creek where the water goes slow

The green-backed heron and the moccasin know

All things come to him who waits

Yet he is lost, who hesitates

Life and death just dancin' around in the mud

Well, the light comes down through the limbs and the leaves

And dapples the water between the reeds

The air tastes green, the bank gets soft

Right about then, your shoes come off

You got to get it between your toes, the mud

Mud pie, mud in your eye

Mud on a snake bite, don't you die

Take a little rain, take a little dirt

Make a little mud, get it on your shirt

Now when I die, please bury me

Down by this old muddy creek

Let the crawfish have their way

It's mud to mud and that's okay

We all just crawled out of the mud

Mud pie, mud in your eye

Mud on a snake bite, don't you die

Take a little rain, take a little dirt

Make a little mud, get it on your shirt

Mud pie, mud in your eye

Mud on a snake bite, don't you die

Take a little rain, take a little dirt

Make a little mud, get it on your shirt

Now, we're all just sloggin' through the mud
