Lyrics

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 But before I let you go from man to man I'd rather drink muddy water Sleep out in a hollow log I work for you like a Georgia mule My friends all laughed, called me a fool Your kisses are as sweet as can be But before I let you make a fool out of me I'd rather drink muddy water Lay down and 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 Muddy water Yes, Baby, we got to have a little talk Said I ought to pack up my things and walk I know a dollar goes from hand to hand But before I let you go from man to man I'd rather drink muddy water Sleep out in a hollow log I work for you like a Georgia mule My friends all laughed and they called me a fool Your kisses are 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 Because 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 can't trust I'd rather drink muddy water Drink muddy water Drink muddy water Sleep out in a hollow log Muddy water Muddy
