I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water (2005 Remaster) - Lou Rawls

Baby we got to have a little talk

I ought to pack up my things and walk

I know a dollar goes from hand to hand

But before I let you go from man to man

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log

I work for you like a Georgia mule

My friends all laughed called me a fool

Your kisses are as sweet as they can be

But before I let you make a fool out of me

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep in a hollow log

I love you baby but you won't be fair

You don't know how to be on the square

Have your fun baby if you must

But before I'll have a woman that I cannot trust

I'd drink muddy water

I will be sleep out in a hollow log

Muddy water

Given up I work for you like a Georgia mule

My friends all laughed and they called me a fool

Your kisses are as sweet as they can be

But before I let you make a fool out of me

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep in a hollow log

Ohh I love you my baby but you won't be fair

You don't know how to be on the square

Have your fun if you must

But before I'll have a woman that I can't trust

I'd drink muddy water

Drink muddy water

Drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log

Muddy water
