Muddy Water |
| Down in New Orleans on the banks of a levy, |
| My mouth was dry and my heart was heavy |
| A gray old man fishing next to me saw that look on my face and he began to speak |
| He said through my years I’ve learned my lesson |
| We’re on the same boat trying to get to Heaven |
| This world is full of sin and strife |
| Son, let me give you some free advice |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| Or wash your soul in a dirty stream |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| There’s only one well where the water is clean |
| Muddy water, dirty stream, |
| Muddy water, dirty stream |
| Muddy water, there’s only one well where the water is clean |
| Though I never once saw that man again |
| it’s hard to believe how long it’s been |
| The words he said really changed my life |
| I’m the first one to testify, testify |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| Or wash your soul in a dirty stream |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| There’s only one well where the water is clean |
| Muddy water, dirty stream, |
| Muddy water, dirty stream |
| Muddy water, there’s only one well where the water is clean |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| Or wash your soul in a dirty stream |
| You can’t quench your thirst drinking muddy water |
| There’s only one well where the water is clean |
| Muddy water, dirty stream, |
| Muddy water, dirty stream |
| Muddy water, there’s only one well where the water is clean |
