lyrics

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 let you, go from man to man
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log

Work for you just like a Georgia mule
My friends laughed
They called me a fool
Your kisses 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

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 have a woman, I cannot trust
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
