Therion - Chain of minerva (2012) lyrics

A contry boy don't perspite a city girl don't sweat

But any fool can tell you either one'll make you wet

Now I found out the hard way and I can tell you yet

You'll do one or the other down on Muddy Bottom.

Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me

It laid along a river bank back home in Tennessee

The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be

Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.

I hankered for the city and all the city lights

So I lit out to make my way and see the city sights

Now I catch myself thinking through long hot city nights

I'd be way better off back down in Muddy Bottom.

Muddy Bottom ain't as lonely as a busy city street

And rattlesnakes ain't half as mean as lots of folks I meet

I've come to the conclusion that ole Bottom's hard to beat

Ruddy cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.

--- Instrumental ---

I sure do miss the river and my secred fishin' pool

I miss the girls I'd chase down through the cornfield after school

You may not understand but I sure do miss my mule

Now I wonder why I left ole Muddy Bottom.

Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy gave to me

It laid along a river bank back home in Tennessee

The hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be

Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom.

Ruddy, cruddy good ole Muddy Bottom...
