Down Into Muddy Water

Fairchild Shelly


Now you left me here 
And went on the town 
I don't know when I've been so down 
The sky is dark 
The moon's blue 
I don't know what I'm gonna do 
It's like fallin' down into muddy water 

I've got the sound turned off 
On my old TV 
And the radio's on 
Playin' B.B. King 
I watch old movies 
And I listen to the blues 
Sittin' here waitin' up on you 
It's like fallin' down into muddy water 

The clock on the wall 
Keeps a rollin' on 
2 o' clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o' clock, 5 
And baby you still ain't home 

Well I fall sound asleep 
In a straight back chair 
The mornin' comes 
And you still ain't here 
Oh lord, I hear a noise 
Holdin' on to faithless love 
It's like fallin' down into muddy water 

The clock on the wall 
Keeps a rollin' on 
2 o' clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o' clock, and 5 
And baby you still ain't home 

Well you left me here 
And went on the town 
I don't know when I've been so down 
The sky is dark 
And the, the moon's blue 
I don't know what I'm gonna do 
It's like fallin' down into muddy water 
It's like fallin' down into muddy water 

Hey, Fallin' down, down, down 
Into muddy water 
I keep on fallin' down, down, down 
Into muddy water 
I'm just fallin' down, down 
Into muddy water 
I keep fallin' down, down 
Into muddy water
