Aretha Franklin - Muddy Water Lyrics
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
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
I’d rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log, yeah
You promised me you were gonna live by the golden rule
I work all day and walk just like a fool
But before I see you make a stone fool out of 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 out in a hollow log

2019. Forever.
she is the absolute best
Drink Muddy Water
Good Lauud, I’ve drank a glass or two. Got a glass in the fridge 👍🏽.
Amazing stuff. Who plays what?
One of my favourite songs that Aretha did... exquisite
All hail the Queen. She will live on in all of her glory.
Listening to this now. Discovered it on a comp - Ladies Sing the Blues. They lyrics are very Aretha. Strong, stubborn, confident and unapologetic.
I understand this.
Ok, here's my thoughts. LOVE ME SOME REE! Now...I am glad you posted this because it was not LIVE as we thought. Live track was added to the Aretha "Yeah" album because Columbia didnt think it would fly just flat out. The entire album was studio recorded. Whatever the case, I love this. Long live The Queen. Dinah Washington was Queen of the Blues and Ree came right behind her with her brand of gospel/soul. Yep!
Great tune man
@Cernuus You're looking for blues if you like Miss Frankin here. So, I'd go for Etta James, Lou Rawls, Billie Holiday, Joe Williams, and Eric Clapton. Hope that helps you. :)
I go ahead and turn it on up
I say id rather drink muddy water
I’d rather drink muddy muddy muddy water
Stay out in a hollow log
I’d rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
Yeah,

But before I see you make a stone fool out of me
Id rather drink muddy water
Yes id rather drink muddy water
Id rather drink muddy water
Oh, yes I would oooo
I’d rather drink muddy water
Yeah, yes I would
Show me the way way way way way down
To that place I can find that muddy water
@SusieAnnL I know most of them. Just one line.
Baby we’ve got to have us a little talk
Gon’ have to pack 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 out in a hollow log
Yes I will,
I love you baby but you just wont 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
Could you pls recommend me some other artists/songs similar to this one? this jazzy song is great..
Thank you! She is the queen.
