You'll do one or the other down in Muddy Bottom.

Chorus:
   D MajorD               G+G
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me
  C majorC               B minorBm
It laid along a river bank, back home in Tennessee
  C majorC                G+G
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
   G+G               C majorC

I'd be way better off back down in Muddy Bottom.

   D MajorD              G+G
Muddy Bottom ain't as lonely as a busy city street
  C majorC                  B minorBm
And rattlesnakes ain't half as mean, as lots of folks I meet
   C majorC                G+G
I've come to the conclusion that ole Bottom's hard to beat
        D MajorD       G+G
Ruddy, cruddy, good ole Muddy Bottom.

I sure do miss the river and my secret fishin' pool
 G+G                     D MajorD
I miss the girls I'd chase down through the cornfield after school
  G+G             C majorC
You may not understand it but I sure do miss my mule
   G+G      D MajorD       G+G
Now I wonder why I left ole Muddy Bottom.
