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
