Lyrics Twenty Feet of Muddy Water - Sonny James

Twenty Feet of Muddy Water

I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
To search that old river bed
I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
To prove there’s no truth in what our friends have said
That when you crossed the bridge the other day
Well you took off my ring and you threw it away
I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
To try to find the answer there
I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
Though I know it’s dark and cold
I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
To search for that precious little band of gold
It’s true it didn’t cost much and I could buy more
But you can’t buy a heart in a jewelry store
I’m going down twenty feet into that muddy, muddy water
To try to find the answer there
