Three miles to go till we're back on the Muddy River
My fishin' stick and string is what I'm gonna give her
With a crawler on the end, walkin' barefoot with my friend
Goin' back on the Muddy River with them fishin' blues again
Two miles to go till we're back on the Muddy River
That ice better be gone or my toes'll start to shiver
Them fish'll wanna bite so we'll cook 'em and eat all right
Goin' back on the Muddy River with them fishin' blues tonight
One mile to go till we're back on the Muddy River
Better make a big catch so we'll get to deliver
A dozen fish a tin to our neighbors, friends, and kin
Goin' back on the Muddy River with them fishin' blues again
We made it three long miles and now we're sittin' on our canoes
Catchin' lots fish but we still got them fishin' blues
'Cuz even if we catch a big old whale from this here river bed
We'll always think there's a bigger fish three miles up ahead
That's why we're singing the blues on a river bed
We got the fishin' blues, 'cuz we can't stop lookin' ahead
