Mud Chords & Lyrics - Whiskey Myers

[D] [G] [D] [G] [D]

[D]Oh Lord won't you let me stay in the place where I was born?
[D]In the fields Granddaddy tilled and all my seeds are sown
[G]Ain't no love for a poor dirt farmer [E]genuine son of the south
[G]And the water's h[D]igh and the bills are too and the [D]levy tumbling down

[E]Daddy owed the b[G]anker man
[E]So we was drowning before the [G]flood
[E]That river washed us all [G]away
[E]Left us right here in the [G]mud

[D]Yea[G]h [D]in [G]the mud

[D]We built this house upon the [G]Mississippi [D]back in 187[D]9
[D]Over a hundred years my [G]family's been here [D]barely scraping [G]by
[D]We just some good old country folks just trying to weather the G
storm
[D]How we gonna pay when the interest rates done got higher than the
corn?

[E]Ain't no man gonna [G]take it away
[E]'Cause it's deep down in my [G]blood
[E]Step across that old [G]property line

And you'll [E]die
Right here in the [G]mud

[D] [G] [D]

Yeah in the [G]mud

[VERSE]
[D]Who's this [E]creeping through the sticks
[G]Let me talk at 'em with my [E]thirty ought six
A couple [D]city guys with [E]suits and ties
Bet they [G]can't feel this crosshair right between their eyes

I got [D]no place to go and [E]no place to run
Just a [G]dirt farmer's boy with his Granddaddy's gun
[D]Step across that line [E]I'm gonna tell you son

[G]We're all gonna die right here in the [D]mud[G] [D]
[G] Yeah in the [D]mud[G] [D] [G]
