Mississippi Mud

(from the album, "Lovesick, Broke & Driftin")

Transcribed by R. Patterson

(standard tuning)

Intro riff

[E]-[F]-[F#]-[G]

[G]Sittin’ in the bayou country,

just me and my fishin’ line.

I raised a lot of hell and I hollered,

sippin’ on that Georgia moon [C]shine.

Well, I know how to have a damn good [G]time.

And I [D]take my shots strait out of the jug

and I [C]like to get pure drunk

in that Mississippi [G]mud.

[G]Well, lets throw us a little party baby,

I’ll call a few friends of mine.

We’ll dance all night till the sun comes up

And we’ll drink our selves completely [C]blind

Then we’ll rock on down the [G]line

And I [D]take my shots strait out of the jug

and I [C]like to get pure drunk

in that Mississippi [G]mud.

(instrumental break)

(follows same chord changes as verse & chorus)

[G]Well, I was raised by an awful alligator

he taught me how to walk the line.

He used to deal cards from the bottom of the deck,

but a Tennessee woman took his [C]life.

But he sure gave me some damn good [G]advice

And I [D]take my shots strait out of the jug

and I [C]like to get pure drunk

in that Mississippi [G]mud.

Well, I [D]take my shots straight out of the jug

And I [C]like to get puke drunk

in that Mississippi [G]mud.
