I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water (Live) (Digitally Remastered 00) - 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
Now 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 rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
You got a 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
Before I let you make a fool out of me
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep on a hollow log
I love you my 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
Muddy water
