Up To My Neck In High Muddy Water

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
