Mud 
Guy Clark 

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 dancin' round in the Mud

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

Chorus
Mud pie mud in your eye
Mud on a snake bite you don't die
Take a litte rain take a little dirt
Make a little mud get it on your shirt

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

Chorus twice

(Tag)
We're all just sloggin' through the mud
