My Name Is Mud Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

My name was Stranger on the night that we met 

And then it was Sweetheart and it might have been yet 

But my arms grew careless like a fear that they would 

Now my arms are empty my lips are so cold and my name is Mud 

My name is Mud my darling is gone 

She won't even see me she won't even write me she won't even call 

Oh they call me a cheater and they say I'm no good 

And in any man's language my name is Mud 

[ piano ] 

My true love worshipped the ground where I stand 

Till the learned the hard way it was just shifting sand 

Oh she cried enough teardrops to start her a flood 

Teardrops soak my name in the sand and my name is Mud 

My name is Mud...
