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
Donżt make me scream, girl
Did you hear just what I saidżż
She spoke up to me
Like so many times before
She said: żNow, listen, girl
You ainżt walking through that door
Your friends may call you
You wonżt be hanging round no more
By the muddy watersż
Ooh yeah, muddy waters
Mama was shouting
Said: żGirl, you better watch your step
That good-for-nothing
You couldnżt trust him when heżs dead
He makes no money
And though he dresses like a Lord
Sweet child believe me
Heżll make your pretty eyes go soreż
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times before
She said: żNow listen, girl
You ainżt walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way too close
By the muddy watersż
Ooh yeah, muddy waters
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times beforev She said: żNow listen, girl
You ainżt walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way too close
To the muddy watersż
Ooh yeah, muddy waters
I ainżt gonna go
No more, no more, no more
