Water Works Fine

歌詞

Back in 1983, Sonny Terry said to me: When I put the bottle down My friends stopped comin' 'round They were comin' for my whiskey My malt liquor an' wine Since I left it all behind, water works fine Water works fine - pure an' sweet It's a natural treat - like a good woman's love One crazy night we drank tequila like beer My recollection's unclear - Ya know I felt like dyin' My face in the mirror Scared the devil outa me Made a blind man see - water works fine Water works fine - pure an' sweet It's a natural treat - like a good woman's love Water works fine - served up neat Well, it's a natural treat - like a good woman's love Hung-over, hung-up - drownin' in a cup I was feelin' kinda strange - 'Bout ready for a change I was boozin' my mind, weavin' over the line When I saw the road sign sayin' water works fine Water works fine - so pure an' sweet It's a natural treat - like a good woman's love Water works fine - best cure for the heat From your head to your feet - Like a good woman's love Water works fine - tastes pure an' sweet Every day of the week - like a good woman's love Water works fine - well, it's a natural treat Make me wanna dip my beak - Like a good woman's love
