Zac Wilkerson - MUDDY WATERS lyrics

Your rating:

She was just a baby on about nine years old
First time she heard that music on her Mama's radio
She started moving and a grooving
It hit her deep down in her soul
And ever since she found that Delta sound she can't feel her blues no more
 
Ah but Papa up and left 'em one hot summer night
In a storm of screams and cusses and the smell of cheap red wine
But when Mama get too lonely Baby know just what to do
She pull out that record player and they'd dance away their blues
 
They let ol' Muddy Waters carry their blues away
They let ol' Muddy Waters carry their blues away
 
One day Mama met a dark haired man with a fifty dollar suit
Got a gold tooth in his greasy smile got a razor in his boot
He'd take Mama dancing Baby stayed all alone
But she'd pull out that record player and do some dancing of her own
 
One night Mama came home fifteen shade of purple black and blue
That dark haired man he's a coward and that's when Baby knew
She ever saw his face again it'd be the last damn time
Mama cried herself to sleep that night baby fall out to 'Ramblin' Mind'
 
They let ol' Muddy Waters carry their blues away
They let ol' Muddy Waters carry their blues away
 
Next day that dark haired man came knocking loud on Mama's door
Mama said "Go away you fool I don't want you anymore."
But he puts his hands on Mama and he flashed that golden tooth
Baby knocked it out with a frying pan and pulled the razor from his boot
Baby done killed that man yes she did
 
Well the sheriff never came calling no judge ever gave a damn
Turns out no one's gonna miss a dark haired coward man
Baby dragged him to the river where it runs wide and slow
Put him face down in the water and they let that fool go
 
They let that Muddy Water carry their blues away
They let that Muddy Water carry their blues away
They let that Muddy Water carry their blues away
They let that Muddy Water carry their blues away
