Lyrics transcript
Reviewed lyrics for Murkwater Blues.
told me murkwater was a piece of land
said i could build myself a house with my
own two hands
Didn't mention the mud. Didn't mention the flies. Didn't
mention the queen With the murder in her eyes.
Murkwater Blues
Lord, what have I done?
Murkwater Blues
Ain't no place for the faint of heart
I came down looking for a little peace and
quiet Now I'm living with a monster that'll tear
me apart
Got me a bed, got me a chair Got
a mirror like this right over there Build me
a fence, put a gate on top That queen
knocked it sideways just last night Murkwater Blues
Whiskey in my hand
Murkwater Blues lose don't think this was what I
had planned
but the rent is cheap and the landlord never
comes around
some folks want sunshine some folks want town me
I just want six feet of ground that I
ain't moving
Or trying to eat me
So here's to murk water Dampen me The ugliest
little piece of paradise I've ever seen When that
queen starts screaming I know what to do Ooh,
pour another whiskey And sing the Murkwater Blues
Mmm, and sing the Murkwater Blues
