Subject: MY NAME IS MUD

MY NAME IS MUD
Recorded by James O'Gwynn
Words and music by Bill Anderson

CAPO: 3rd Fret/KEY: F/PLAY: D
[NC] My name was [D] stranger ...
On the [G] night that we [D] met ...
And then it was sweetheart ...
And it [E] might have been [A7] yet ... [P]
[NC] But my arms grew [D] careless ...
Like I [G] feared that they [D] would ...
Now my arms are [A7] empty - My lips are so cold;
My name is [D] mud.

CHORUS
My name is [G] mud ...
My darlin' is [D] gone ...
She won't even see me; She won't even write me;
She won't even [A7] phone ... [P]
[NC] Oh! they call me a [D] cheater ...
And they [G] say I'm no [D] good ...
And in any man's [A7] language ... [P]
[NC] My name is [D] mud.

My true love worshipped - The ground where I stand ...
Till she learned the hard way - That it's just sifted sand ...
She cried enough teardrops - To start her a flood ...
Teardrops wrote my name in the sand - Now my name is mud.

CHORUS
