Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Muddy Water

Baby we’ve got to have us a little talk

Gonna have to pack up my things I’m gonna walk

You say a dollar goes from hand to hand

But before I see you go from woman to woman

I’d rather drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log, yes I would

I love you baby but you just won’t be fair

I don’t believe you know how to be on the square

Now go on and have your fun and if you must

But before I have another man that I cannot trust

I’d rather drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log, yeah

You promised me you were gonna live by the golden rule

I work all day and walk just like a fool

For you my kisses are sweet as they can be

But before I see you make a stone fool out of me

I’d rather drink muddy water

Yes I’d rather drink muddy water

I’d rather drink muddy water

Oh yes I would

I’d rather drink muddy water

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes I would

Show me the way, way, way, way, way down

To that place I can find that muddy water

I’ll go ahead and turn it on up

I say I’d rather drink muddy water

I’d rather drink muddy, muddy, muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log
