Up To My Neck In High Muddy Water Lyrics

Yes and now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
Now the water's deep and wide
Can't hold out long this way
If I could spend a time
Perhaps I'd find a way

So now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water

Now I see the distance stir and I hear reckless sound
And something seems to say well I'm bound for higher ground

So now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water

Now the sun has risen late
But I'm safe at last my friend
Deep water was my pain
But now I've reached the end

Yes now I'll swim ashore and I know I'll make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
