Gaither Vocal Band - Muddy Water Lyrics

Down in New Orleans on the banks of a levy,My mouth was dry and my heart was heavyA gray old man fishing next to me saw that look on my face and he began to speakHe said through my years I've learned my lessonWe're on the same boat trying to get to HeavenThis world is full of sin and strifeSon, let me give you some free adviceYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterOr wash your soul in a dirty streamYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterThere's only one well where the water is cleanMuddy water, dirty stream,Muddy water, dirty streamMuddy water, there's only one well where the water is cleanThough I never once saw that man againit's hard to believe how long it's beenThe words he said really changed my lifeI'm the first one to testify, testifyYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterOr wash your soul in a dirty streamYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterThere's only one well where the water is cleanMuddy water, dirty stream,Muddy water, dirty streamMuddy water, there's only one well where the water is cleanYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterOr wash your soul in a dirty streamYou can't quench your thirst drinking muddy waterThere's only one well where the water is cleanMuddy water, dirty stream,Muddy water, dirty streamMuddy water, there's only one well where the water is clean
