'''SALLY'S GOT MUD BETWEEN HER TOES.''' AKA - "Sal's got Mud between Her Toes," "Sallie's got Mud between Her Toes." American, Reel (cut time). D Major. ADae or Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBC: ABC (Silberberg). The tune is sourced to southern Kentucky fiddler Pat Kingery, whom collector and fiddler Bruce Greene recorded in the field in 1976. On that recording Kingery did not sing words, but later told Greene that these words were sung to the tune:
Here comes Sally down the road,
<blockquote>
She’s got mud between her toes,
''Here comes Sally down the road,''<br>
Though her face is pretty as a pear,
''She's got mud between her toes,''<br>
She’s got a yellow ribbon in her hair.
''Though her face is pretty as a pear,''<br>
 
''She's got a yellow ribbon in her hair.''<br>
CHO
</blockquote>
Sal, Sal, don’t be slow,
Musician, instrument-maker and songwriter Bob Coltman used Kingery's words as the first stanza and added a chorus and more verses:
You love me, you know it’s so,
<blockquote>
All I ask, the good Lord knows,
CHORUS:<br>
Shake that mud from ‘tween your toes.
''Sal, Sal, don’t be slow,''<br>
 
''You love me, you know it’s so,''<br>
Here she comes and yon she goes,
''All I ask, the good Lord knows,''<br>
She don’t wear no fancy clothes,
''Shake that mud from ‘tween your toes.''<br>
She don’t carry no long stem rose,
<br>
She’s got mud between her toes.
''Here she comes and yon she goes,''<br>
 
''She don’t wear no fancy clothes,''<br>
Asked her would she marry me,
''She don’t carry no long stem rose,''<br>
She says, "Not immediately,"
''She’s got mud between her toes.''<br>
But I noticed her with a hose
<br>
Washin’ mud from ‘tween her toes.
''Asked her would she marry me,''<br>
''She says, "Not immediately,"''<br>
''But I noticed her with a hose''<br>
''Washin' mud from ‘tween her toes.''<ref>Muccat Lyr. Request: Sal's Got Mud Between Her Toes [https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=88835]</ref><br>

SALLY'S GOT MUD BETWEEN HER TOES. AKA - "Sal's got Mud between Her Toes," "Sallie's got Mud between Her Toes." American, Reel (cut time). D Major. ADae or Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBC: ABC (Silberberg). The tune is sourced to southern Kentucky fiddler Pat Kingery, whom collector and fiddler Bruce Greene recorded in the field in 1976. On that recording Kingery did not sing words, but later told Greene that these words were sung to the tune:

Here comes Sally down the road,
She's got mud between her toes,
Though her face is pretty as a pear,
She's got a yellow ribbon in her hair.

Musician, instrument-maker and songwriter Bob Coltman used Kingery's words as the first stanza and added a chorus and more verses:

CHORUS:
Sal, Sal, don’t be slow,
You love me, you know it’s so,
All I ask, the good Lord knows,
Shake that mud from ‘tween your toes.

Here she comes and yon she goes,
She don’t wear no fancy clothes,
She don’t carry no long stem rose,
She’s got mud between her toes.

Asked her would she marry me,
She says, "Not immediately,"
But I noticed her with a hose
Washin' mud from ‘tween her toes.[1]
