  • If it wasn't so dark out here tonight
    I know I'd be a hell of a sight
    Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe
    If I told you once, I told you twice
    You better not touch my Clementine
    But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole

    Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
    And this time of year, she takes what you give her
    So tonight I lay me down to sleep
    And pray my soul and my secret to keep
    Between you, me and the river

    It's been a long week working overtime
    That's why I got home early tonight
    And when I saw your car I could smell the trouble
    So I turned off my headlights
    And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
    And I went to the shed to get my shovel

    Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
    And this time of year, she takes what you give her
    So tonight I'll lay me down to sleep
    And pray my soul and a secret to keep
    Between you, me and the river

    Yeah, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time
    They'll ask about my alibi
    And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder
    I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me
    But I'll smile at the memory
    Of my diamond on her hand as she went under

    Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
    And this time of year, she takes what you give her
    So tonight I'll lay me down to sleep
    And pray my soul and a secret to keep
    Between you, me and the river
    Between you, me and the river Writer/s: Eric Church
