Delta Mud

I had my pappy's place down on the bayo'
My wife, she bore me a son
An outlaw stole my sweet Carrie from me
And shot little Jeb, ah, with a gun
I sold the house and bought a big roan horse
Brought just a blanket along
I'd go to hell and back to find my dear wife
But in my heart I hear this song

Delta mud, you know I've got you in my blood
Just as long as I've been gone
I've just been wishin' that I was home
I'm alone, I can feel it down in my bones
But you know I'll be back in luck
When my feet are back in delta mud

I finally found him in Clear Creek County
Pannin' gold from a stream. He said,
"Your Carrie died and I'm as sorry as you"
But in his eye I saw a gleam. He said,
"How much you want for that big roan horse?
But I got no gold anyway"
He grinned and pointed that same pistol at me
But I shot him dead as he rode away

Now I've got this rundown shack and a washed-out claim
No home, no food, and no gold
I've got enough to tide me 'til the snow flies
But the winter's cold or so I'm told
My sweet revenge can't satisfy my soul
And I roam this cold, barren land
No one knows my heart or the hurt that it holds
Who understands such a lonely man? Nobody

Changin' mud, I'd like to have you in my blood
Everything I once had is gone
I guess I'll just call here my home
I'm alone, but it warms me to my bones
To know the changin' moods of Lady Luck
If I keep my feet in changin' mud
