I’d Rather Drink Muddy Water
Babe, we got to have little talk
I ought to pack up my things an walk
I know a dollar goes hand to hand
Before I met you, go from man to man
I'd rather drink muddy water or
Sleep in a hollow log

'Yas, yas'

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, I can't trust
I'd rather drink muddy water or
Sleep in a hollow log

What's the use, just like a Georgia mule
My friends laughed
And they called me a fool
Your kisses are as sweet as can be
Before I'll let you make a fool out of me
I'd rather drink muddy water or
Sleep in a hollow log
