《Waist Deep In The Big Muddy》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:40] Waist deep Neck deep

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

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

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