I know the secrets of this old muddy river but I’ll never tell
It’s where many a sinner had his soul delivered from the fires of Hell
Well I guess that Preacher tried to save my soul just a little too well
I know the secrets of this old muddy river but I’ll never tell

Preacher man said come down to the water and be set free
But that SOB had trouble keeping his hands off me
When I threatened to tell his ol’ lady he just laughed at me
That Preacher man said come down to the water and be set free

Chorus:
Sheriff Brown comes around but it’s all for show
I get the feeling he don’t wanna know
Cuz he plays cards with the Preacher out back of the general store

I was all alone when he come down by the river side
He said lay your head back into the muddy and be baptized
In Jesus’ name he held me down and I could not rise
I was all alone when he come down by the river side

Chorus

Bridge
I keep the secrets and they’re safe with me My spirit cries out but I’m in too deep
here I’ll stay til the river gives way for the Reckoning
