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

yes i would

show me the way

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
