Aretha Franklin — Muddy Water Original Session Take

[Intro] One, two, one, two, three [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I'd rather drink muddy water Sleep out in a hollow log Yes, I would [Verse 2] I love you, baby, but you just won't be fair I don't believe you know how to be on the square Now go on and have your fun and if you must But before I have another man that I cannot trust [Chorus] I'd rather drink muddy water Sleep out in a hollow log [Bridge] Yeah, real, real soulful right now, Dirty Harry Yeah, yeah [Verse 3] You promised me you were gonna live by the golden rule I work all day and walk just like a fool For you my kisses are sweet as they can be But before I see you make a stone fool out of me [Chorus] I'd rather drink muddy water Yes, I'd rather drink muddy water I'd rather drink muddy water Oh oh oh yes I would, woo hoo [Outro] 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 out in a hollow log
