And me I spend a lot of time picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And throwing 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchee Bridge

Ode to Billie Joe
Bobbie Gentry

wow!
Maybe this was too soon after bridge and water!

I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud...

I'm going to claim that "Mudders" counts.

He saw the mudders back's breakin',
he heard the mudders lament.
and he saw tha magistrate takin'
every dollar and leavin' 5 cents.

"Hero of Canton" from the "Janestown" eppisode of Firefly.

It's bulls and blood
It's dust and mud
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd...

Built ourselves a city
And we made it out of mud
we dried it out this morning
out there in the desert sun.

Muddy water in my shoes
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
They live in ease and comfort down there
I do declare

"Muddy Water" sung by the incomparable Madeleine Peyroux, originally by Bessie Smith

Who's the greatest mudskipper of them all?
Who can skip thru the mud with the greatest of ease?
What kind of wonderful guy?
Who can crawl like a dog without scraping his knees?
Who's got segmented eyes?
It's Muddy Mud-Skipper!
It's Muddy!
MudSkipper
It's the Muddy!
Mud Skipper show!!

We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
