Tabbed by Russell Patterson
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
