Waist Deep In The Big Muddy - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]

It was back in nineteen forty-two [00:00:05]

I was a member of a good platoon [00:00:08]

We were on maneuvers in-a Loozianna [00:00:11]

One night by the light of the moon [00:00:13]

The captain told us to ford a river [00:00:16]

That's how it all begun [00:00:19]

We were knee deep in the Big Muddy [00:00:21]

But the big fool said to push on [00:00:24]

The Sergeant said "Sir are you sure [00:00:31]

This is the best way back to the base "[00:00:34]

"Sergeant go on I forded this river[00:00:37]

'Bout a mile above this place [00:00:39]

It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging [00:00:42]

We'll soon be on dry ground "[00:00:45]

We were waist deep in the Big Muddy[00:00:47]

And the big fool said to push on [00:00:50]

The Sergeant said "Sir with all this equipment[00:00:57]

No man will be able to swim "[00:00:59]

"Sergeant don't be a Nervous Nellie "[00:01:02]

The Captain said to him [00:01:05]

"All we need is a little determination;[00:01:07]

Men follow me I'll lead on "[00:01:10]

We were neck deep in the Big Muddy[00:01:13]

And the big fool said to push on [00:01:16]

All at once the moon clouded over [00:01:22]

We heard a gurgling cry [00:01:25]

A few seconds later the captain's helmet[00:01:28]

Was all that floated by [00:01:31]

The Sergeant said "Turn around men [00:01:33]

I'm in charge from now on "[00:01:36]

And we just made it out of the Big Muddy[00:01:38]

With the captain dead and gone [00:01:41]

We stripped and dived and found his body[00:01:43]

Stuck in the old quicksand [00:01:46]

I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper[00:01:49]

Than the place he'd once before been [00:01:51]

Another stream had joined the Big Muddy[00:01:54]

'Bout a half mile from where we'd gone [00:01:57]

We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy[00:01:59]

When the big fool said to push on [00:02:02]

Well I'm not going to point any moral;[00:02:08]

I'll leave that for yourself[00:02:11]

Maybe you're still walking you're still talking[00:02:14]

You'd like to keep your health [00:02:17]

But every time I read the papers[00:02:19]

That old feeling comes on;[00:02:22]

We're waist deep in the Big Muddy[00:02:24]

And the big fool says to push on [00:02:27]

Waist deep in the Big Muddy[00:02:30]

And the big fool says to push on [00:02:32]

Waist deep in the Big Muddy[00:02:35]

And the big fool says to push on [00:02:37]

Waist deep Neck deep [00:02:40]

Soon even a tall man'll be over his head [00:02:42]

W're waist deep in the Big Muddy [00:02:44]

And the big fool says to push on[00:02:47]
