Lyrics:
spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
to the river where deep waters flow.
"John Lewis, John Lewis, want you tell to me your mind?
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?"
"Little Omie,
off to Muddy Water's
I'm going later that afternoon
To set my eyes on Graceland!
I'm walkin' down Beale St
Jump on the stage at Muddy Water's
I see
And the muddy water river flowing by the sea
Is bringing back memories I never knew I had
Yeah, the villa muddy water is a calling me
I can't stop thinking about
She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck
She says: It's always muddy and it rides so rough
And there ain't no graceful way to climb up in a dress
I stood lonely by the muddy river I saw a stranger on the other side
In the middle swam a sinner he was cryin to be sanctified
I called brother
Ah, this? about two cats, they?re sitting? down by a river in the swimps. (and) They?re sittin? there on a log. This one of ?em is a kind of a big
tells ya there’s no place ta hide
You’ll be high 'n dry babe right by my side
High 'n dry with the waters down below
Runnin' where they want to go
Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry
So I head you're comin' back with somebody else
Well, if I had the time, if I had a little help
Every
spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
cheap irony
Muddy water in the aimless sea
That's cheap irony
Muddy water in the aimless sea
That's cheap irony
I see my sense of comedy is growing mighty
spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
of the lake
Some jump
I got sunk, baptized on credit
Fishin' down on th' muddy bank
Felt a pull an' give a big yank
I holed out three old rubber boots
spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
a game that get played by a kid
Pussy boy, I'm on your head like a wig
Diamonds water like I bought 'em from a squid
A1's what she get when she want
the fact that both of us was wrong
Both of us was wrong
You're talking right to me
But you really ain't saying a thang
You're pouring muddy water on me
to me
Will you come back to me
Because I don't mind
You walking by me
Just don't let me see
So in the muddy waters
We built the traction
I could be your
I was walking long to find my way
Through the lonly time of night and day.
Through muddy waters and through the stormy sea
My heart was led by
Spirit me a game of stud
Stakes unscarred by limitation
Between a man named Gold and man named Mud
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
Till his long,
Steamin' down the muddy waters
Travelin' yonder from bay to bay
I been workin' on the barge line
Fourteen years ago today
Eighteen hours hard
soaked through
The bloat was blue the water muddy
Sitting on the banks of the River Lea
Sinking by the banks
With wet socks and pants
Pretending
spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
