Dark and Muddy

I got back to Memphis on a Monday afternoon
my honey babe waitin at the riverside
that sun was sinkin low only minutes left to show
some light on the dark and muddy

everytime he comes around i hear a sound
an ole familiar tune
yeh I'm still singin bout goodbye i still think we got it right
we bid farewell to the dark and muddy

oh you better get some good religion
oh you better believe in love
dahlin hold me tight
pray there will come a time
when we cross ore the dark and muddy

i got out of memphis on a tuesday afternoon
cryin holy to the lord
a good gal oughta know she better rest her weary soul
when she can take no more of the dark and muddy
