The Cats and The Fiddle - I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water (1940) (By Bumble Bee Slim)

The Cats and The Fiddle

Babe, we got to have little talk
I ought to pack up my things and walk
I know a dollar goes hand to hand
Before I met you, go from man to man
I'd rather drink muddy water or
Sleep in a hollow log

What's the use, just like a Georgia mule
My friends laughed and they called me a fool
Your kisses are as sweet as can be
Before I'll let you make a sap out of me
I'd rather drink muddy water or
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
Before I'll have a woman I can't trust
I'd rather drink muddy water or
Sleep in a hollow log
