Red Mud Lyrics - Sonny James

It rains and it rains all day and this red dirt I'm workin' turns to clay 

And clay ain't nothin' but a fancy name for mud red mud 

Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud) 

I've worked and sweated all my life in red mud 

I'm just a broken hearted old man tryin' to make my livin' from the soil 

I'm not lookin' here for fame or gold man just wanna be rewarded for my toil 

Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud) 

You grieve me but I just can't leave you red mud (red mud) 

The sun grows hotter each day and the sweat keeps a'rolling down my face 

My back is bendin' and my hair is grey from workin' red mud 

Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud) 

I've worked and sweated all my life in red mud (red mud) red mud
