Michigan Water Blues

Clarence Williams

[Verse 1]
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine
I mean sherry wine
Oh, but Mississippi water taste like turpentine
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine

[Verse 2]
Believe to my soul that gal got a black cat bone
Yes, black cat bone
She'll go away but she's sure to come back home
Michigan water taste like sherry wine

[Verse 3]
She looks like a frog, hops like a kangaroo
If you ain't got no hopper
Then she'll be your hopper too
Michigan water taste like sherry wine
Michigan water taste like sherry wine

[Verse 4]
Gal in Alabama, one in Spain
Another in Mississippi, scared to call her name
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine

[Instrumental Outro]
