Muddy Waters - Vaya Con Dios

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
