Aretha Franklin - Muddy Water lyrics

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
