[Verse 1]
Billy had a mistress down on 'A' and 12th
She was that little somethin' that he did for himself
His own little secret, didn't hurt nobody
Come the afternoon, he'd take her wadin'

[Chorus]
Waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You start out standing, but end up crawlin', son

[Verse 2]
Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
This old friend had a figure in mind
It was nothing illegal, just a little bit funny
He said "C'mon, don't tell me that the rich don't know
Sooner or later, it all comes down to money"

[Chorus]
And you're waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You start on higher ground, but end up crawlin', sonny

[Bridge]
Well I had a friend said, "You watch what you do
Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"
