Intro riff 
{E}-{F}-{F#}-{G}  
 
G 
Sittin' in the bayou country, just me and my fishin' line. 
 
I raised a lot of hell and I hollered, 
                            C  
sippin' on that Georgia moonshine 
                                     G 
Well, I know how to have a damn good time 
      D  
And I take my shots straight out of the jug 
      C                                          G 
and I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud 
 
 
Well, lets throw us a little party baby, 
I'll call a few friends of mine. 
We'll dance all night till the sun comes up 
And we'll drink our selves completely blind 
Then we'll rock on down the line 
And I take my shots straight out of the jug 
and I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud 
 
Lead 
 
Well, I was raised by an awful alligator 
he taught me how to walk the line 
He used to deal cards from the bottom of the deck, 
but a Tennessee woman took his life 
But he sure gave me some damn good advice 
And I take my shots straight out of the jug 
and I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud 
Well, I take my shots straight out of the jug 
And I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud 
 
 
And I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi Mud
