  • It was back in nineteen forty-two
    I was a member of a good platoon
    We were on maneuvers in a Loozianna
    One night by the light of the moon
    The captain told us to ford a river
    That's how it all begun
    We were knee deep in the Big Muddy
    But the big fool said to push on

    The sergeant said sir are you sure
    This is the best way back to the base
    Sergeant go on I forded this river
    About a mile above this place
    It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging
    We'll soon be on dry ground
    We were waist deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool said to push on

    The sergeant said sir with all this equipment
    No man will be able to swim
    Sergeant don't be a nervous Nellie
    The captain said to him
    All we need is a little determination“
    Men follow me I'll lead on
    We were neck deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool said to push on

    All at once the moon clouded over
    We heard a gurgling cry
    A few seconds later the captain's helmet
    Was all that floated by
    The sergeant said turn around men
    I'm in charge from now on
    And we just made it out of the Big Muddy
    With the captain dead and gone

    We stripped and dived and found his body
    Stuck in the old quicksand
    I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper
    Than the place he'd once before been
    Another stream had joined the Big Muddy
    About a half mile from where we'd gone
    We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy
    When the big fool said to push on

    Well I'm not going to point any moral
    I'll leave that for yourself
    Maybe you're still walking
    You're still talking
    You'd like to keep your health
    But every time I read the papers
    That old feeling comes on
    We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool says to push on
    Waist deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool says to push on
    Waist deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool says to push on
    Waist deep neck deep
    Soon even a tall man'll be over his head
    We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
    And the big fool says to push on
