Drinking Muddy Water

(album: Shake Hands With Shorty - 2000)

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 [?]

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, if I can be your kickman, I ain't gonna be your dog
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
