[Verse 1] Boots in the red clay Sun on the tin roof I catch your grin in the water It’s a wild little truth Down by the willow bend Where the minnows run thin You lean on that old fence rail And I’m all in [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand Come on, now Hear that roll Hear that sound The bank’s gone soft But we don’t care We got a song In the river air [Chorus] Old Muddy River, roll Old Muddy River, roll (roll, roll, roll) Shake my boots, make me whole Old Muddy River, roll (yodel-aye-hee) [Verse 2] Blackberries by the road Dust on your knees You laugh at the geese And I laugh too easy The minnows flash silver Then vanish away We’re skipping flat rocks Till the end of the day [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand Come on, now Hear that roll Hear that sound The bank’s gone soft But we don’t care We got a song In the river air [Chorus] Old Muddy River, roll Old Muddy River, roll (roll, roll, roll) Shake my boots, make me whole Old Muddy River, roll (yodel-aye-hee) [Bridge] If the road gets long And my heart runs dry I’ll follow that bend Where the herons fly One little yodel Up in the trees Then you’re right there Calling back to me [Final Chorus] Old Muddy River, roll Old Muddy River, roll (roll, roll, roll) Shake my boots, make me whole Old Muddy River, roll (yodel-aye-hee) Old Muddy River, roll Old Muddy River, roll (roll, roll, roll) Take us home, let it flow Old Muddy River, roll (yodel-aye-hee)
