baby we got to have us a little talk
gon' 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 out in a hollow log

i love ya 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 if you must
but before i'll have another man that i can not trust
i'd rather drink muddy water
sleep out in a hollow log

you promised me you were gonna be comin' on through
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 fool out of me
i'd rather drink muddy water
sleep out in a hollow log
