Key: D 🎸 Intro: D 🎸 Verse 1: D If it wasn't so dark out here tonight Em I know I'd be a hell of a sight G Asus4 D Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe D
If I told you once
I told you twice
Em
You better not touch my Clementine
G Asus4 D
But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole
🎸 Chorus:
D Em
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
G A D
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
D
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
Em
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
G A D
Between you, me and the river
🎸 Verse 2:
D
It's been a long week working overtime
Em
That's why I got home early tonight
G A D
And when I saw your car I could smell the trouble
D
So I turned off my hеadlights
Em7
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
G A D
And I wеnt to the shed to get my shovel
🎸 Chorus:
D Em7
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy

D
They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time
Em
The last goodbye, my alibi
G A D
And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder
D
I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me
Em
But I'll smile at the memory
G A D
Of my diamond on her hand as she went under
🎸 Chorus:
D Em7
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy

In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her

And pray my soul and my secret to keep
G A D
Between you, me and the river
G A D
Between you, me and the river
