Waist Deep in the Big Muddy Pete Seeger
[Intro]
Am G F E7 x 2
[Verse]
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
It was back in nineteen forty-two, I was a member of a good platoon.
Am C F C Dm E7
We were on maneuvers in-a Louisiana, one night by the light of the moon.
Am C F C Dm E7
The captain told us to ford a river, that's how it all begun.
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
We were -- knee deep in the Big Muddy, but the big fool said to push on.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
The Sergeant said, "Sir, are you sure, this is the best way back to the base?"
Am C F C Dm E7
"Sergeant, go on! I forded this river 'Bout a mile above this place.
Am C F C Dm E7
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging, we’ll soon be on dry ground."
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
We were, waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool said to push on.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
The Sergeant said, "Sir, with all this equipment, no man will be able to swim."
Am C F C Dm E7
"Sergeant, don't be a Nervous Nellie," the Captain said to him.
Am C F C Dm E7
"All we need is a little determination; Men, follow me, I'll lead on."
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
We were, neck deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool said to push on.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
All at once, the moon clouded over, we heard a gurgling cry.
[Verse]
Am C F C Dm E7
A few seconds later, the captain's helmet was all that floated by.floated by.
Am C F C Dm E7
The Sergeant said, "Turn around men! I'm in charge from now on."
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
And we just made it out of the Big Muddy with the captain dead and gone.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
We stripped and dived and found his body, stuck in the old quicksand.
Am C F C Dm E7
I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper than the place he'd once before been.
Am C F C Dm E7
Another stream had joined the Big Muddy 'Bout a half mile from where we'd gone.
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy when the big fool said to push on.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
Well, I'm not going to point any moral, I'll leave that for yourself
Am C F C Dm E7
Maybe you're still walking, you're still talking you'd like to keep your health.
Am C F C Dm E7
But every time I read the papers that old feeling comes on;
Am Dm F E7 Am G F E7
We're, waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool says to push on.
Am C F Dm Am E7 Am
Waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool says to push on.
Am C F C Dm E7
Waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool says to push on.
Am Dm F E7
Waist deep! Neck deep! Soon even a tall man'll be over his head, we're
Am Dm F E7 Am
Waist deep in the Big Muddy! and the big fool says to push on!
