Muddy Water Lyrics

Aretha Franklin

Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide

And I got a need for going some place

And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

Look for me when you see me comin' I may be runnin' I don't know

I may be tired and runnin' fever but I'll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio

So look out for me oh muddy water...


[ sax ]

Well I been down to the pain and sorrow I thought no tomorrow's comin' in

So I put my pole to the river bottom

And I've got to hide some place and find myself again

Look out for me oh muddy water...

Look out for me oh muddy water...
