I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water

I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water - 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

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 laughed called me a fool

Your kisses are as sweet as 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

Before I'll have a woman that I can't trust

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log

Baby we've just have a little talk

I ought to pack up my things and walk

I know a dollar goes from hand to hand

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 sweet as can be

But before I let you make a fool out of me

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep in a hollow log

Because 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 can't trust

I'd rather drink muddy water

Drink muddy water

Drink muddy water

Sleep out in a hollow log

Drink muddy water
