Up to My Neck in High Muddy Water
[Chorus]
Yes now, I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
[Verse 1]
Now, the water's deep and wide
Can't hold out long this way
If I could spend the time
Perhaps I'd find a way
[Chorus]
So now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
[Verse 2]
Now, I see the distance stir
And I hear a reckless sound
And something seems to say
Well, I'm bound for higher ground
[Chorus]
So now, I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, the sun has risen late
But I'm safe at last, my friend
Deep water was my fate
But now I've reached the end
[Chorus]
Yes now, I'll swim ashore, and I know I'll make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
