Roger Miller, Daniel H. Jenkins, Ron Richardson - Muddy Water lyrics

Jim, get up! They're after us we
Ain't got a minute to lose!

I ain't got all the provisions aboard yet!

Forget that! Just shove 'er out
Now lay into that pole, jim!

Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb
Upon your back and ride

You can look for me when you see me comin'
I may be runnin', I don't know
I may be tired and a-runnin' fever
But, I'll be headed south to
The mouth of the Ohio

So look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb
Upon your back and ride

Well I've been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrows comin' in
But, I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide someplace
And find myself again

So look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb
Upon your back and ride

Look out for me (Look out for me)
Oh muddy water (Oh muddy water)
Your mysteries are deep and wide
Said I got a need (I got a need)
For goin' someplace (For goin' someplace)
And I got a need to climb
Upon your back and ride

Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going someplace
And I got a need to climb
Upon your back and ride ride
