Muddy Waters

Mama was angry Said: "Girl you must have lost your head Only the lazy Stay the whole day long in bed Your skirts need mending And the floor cries to be swept Don't make me scream, girl Did you hear just what I said?" She spoke up to me Like so many times before She said: "Now, listen, girl You ain't walking through that door Your friends may call you You won't be hanging 'round no more By the muddy waters" OOh yeah, muddy waters Mama was shouting Said: "Girl, you better watch your step That good-for-nothing You couldn't trust him when he's dead He makes no money And though he dresses like a Lord Sweet child believe me He'll make your pretty eyes go sore" She spoke up to me Like a thousand times before She said: "Now listen, girl You ain't walking through that door No little lady You two are sailing way too close By the muddy waters" Ooh yeah, muddy waters She spoke up to me Like a thousand times before She said: "Now listen, girl You ain't walking through that door No little lady You two are sailing way to close To the muddy waters" Ooh yeah, the muddy waters. I ain't gonna go No more, no more, no more
