Muddy Waters Rose Out Of The Mississippi Mud |
| Try stealing a guitar that’s strung with barbed wire |
| Ripping them strings like your fingers' on fire |
| Stand there confessing in a mohair suit |
| Like a steamroller comin' and they call it the blues |
| Now cock both your barrels, holler I’m a man |
| Be the greatest lover, Lord, with a pint in your hand |
| Get white wall tires and a continental spare |
| Chrome dual exhaust so that the world will appear |
| Now they say he was a conjure man |
| They say he was made of flesh and blood |
| Yeah, they say he was a conjure man |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud |
| Yeah yeah yeah |
| You got pinky rings on your fingers full of 60 cent wings |
| Tell 'em you’re the greatest lover that the world has ever seen |
| Go down at dawn to the Bayou of St. John |
| Bow down to the seventh, Lord, the seventh son |
| When you pass the crossroads you’d better do it at a run |
| 'Cause the devil got the level on everything you done |
| They say he was a conjure man |
| They say he was made of flesh and blood |
| Yes, he was a conjure man |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud |
| You need alligator shoes and a Rocket 88 |
| An insatiable hunger, man, that just won’t wait |
| High roll your money just to pay your dues |
| Like a bulldog in the corner and they call it the blues |
| They say he was a conjure man |
| He was made of flesh and blood |
| Yeah, they say he was a conjure man |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud |
| Lord, they say he was a conjure man |
| He was made of flesh and blood |
| Yes, he was a conjure man |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud |
| Muddy Waters rose out of the Mississippi mud, yeah yeah |
