Drinking Muddy Water Lyrics

North Mississippi Allstars Drinking Muddy Water

I’ve been drinking muddy water, sleep’n a hollow log
I been drinking muddy water, sleep’n a hollow log
Lord if I can be your kickman, I ain’t gonna be your dog

Yes I’m going away baby, baby don’t you wanna go
Yes I’m going away baby, baby don’t you wanna go
Lord, I is going somewheres I ain’t never been before

I’ve been drinking muddy water, sleep’n a hollow log
I been drinking muddy water, sleep’ n a hollow log
Lord if I can be your kickman, I ain’t gonna be your dog

Lord, there ain’t but that one thing I said honey that will ease my mind
Well it ain’t but that one thing honey that will ease my mind
Lord that girl will tease me, tease me xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’ve been drinking muddy water, sleep’n a hollow log
I been drinking muddy water, sleep’n a hollow log
Lord if I can be your kickman, I ain’t gonna be your dog

(alternate live lyrics:
If the river was a whiskey and I was a diving duck
If the river was a whiskey and I was a diving duck
Lord, I swim the bottom never would I come up.)
