Circle left
Us country boys don't perspire and city girls don't sweat
But any fool can tell you, either one will get you wet
Walk all around your corner, and star thru at home
California twirl, left allemande and weave the ring now
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy left to me
Dosado this lady and promenade you see
To the hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
You'll do one or the other, down in Muddy Bottom

1 & 3 lead to the right, and circle 4 you know
Head gent break and you make a line, it's up and back you go
Pass thru, go on to the next with a right & left thru you do
Then flutter wheel, and when you're through
Sweep 1/4, then pass thru, swing the corner girl
Left allemande, come back and promenade
To that stretch along the river bank, way down in Tennessee
Ruddy, cruddy good old Muddy Bottom

Circle left
I handered for the city and all them city lights
So I lit out to make my way to see them city sights
Walk all around your corner, and star thru at home
California twirl, left allemande and weave the ring now
Muddy Bottom is as lonely as a busy city street
Dosado this lady and promenade for me
I've come to this conclusion, Muddy Bottom's hard to beat
Now I wonder why I left old Muddy Bottom

Circle left
I sure do miss my river and my secret fishin' pool
I miss the girls I chased down through the cornfields after school
Walk all around your corner, and star thru at home
California twirl, left allemande and weave the ring now
Muddy Bottom is a cornfield that my daddy left to me
Dosado this lady and promenade you see
To the hottest place this side of where nobody wants to be
You'll do one or the other, down in Muddy Bottom
