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 in a hollow log yes I would

I love you baby but you just wont be fair

I don't believe you know how to be on the square

No 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 in a hollow log yeah

Piano break

You promised me you were gonna live by the golden rule

I work all day and walk just like a fool

But your kisses are sweet as they can be

But before I see you make a stone fool outta 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 yeah yes I would

Show me the way way way way way down

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 in a hollow log
