Muddy Waters lyrics

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
