        E7                               D            Am

Muddy shores, muddy sores, clingin' 'tween my toes
         E7                          D           Am
Ain't no tellin' where that muddy Missippi river flows
(Verse 7)

Winter sun, winter sun, shine, keep me warm

Got a boy child comin' early in the morn'.
(Chorus)

(Verse 9)
Am
