Intro:
G  G  G  G


Verse 1:
G                                   C
A country boy don't perspire, and a city girl don't sweat
    G                              D
But any fool can tell you,  either one will make you wet
    G                             C
Now I found out the hard way, and I can tell you yet
           G               D             G
You'll do one or the other down in Muddy Bottom.

Chorus:
      D                             G
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me
   C                              Bm
It laid along a river bank,  back home in Tennessee
    C                                G
The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
               D              G
Ruddy, cruddy, good ole Muddy Bottom.

Verse 2 :
G                           C
I hankered for the city and all the city lights
G                               D
So I lit out to make my way and see the city sights
      G                             C
Now I catch myself thinking through long hot city nights
       G                   D             G
I'd be way better off back down in Muddy Bottom.

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

 Verse 3 :
G                               C
I sure do miss the river and my secret fishin' pool
  G                                          D
I miss the girls I'd chase down through the cornfield after school
    G                          C
You may not understand it  but I sure do miss my mule
      G            D              G
Now I wonder why I left ole Muddy Bottom.

Chorus:
      D                             G
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me
   C                            Bm
It laid along a river bank back home in Tennessee
    C                                G
The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
                D              G
Ruddy, cruddy,  good ole Muddy Bottom.
