Tampa Red - If I Had Known

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2090938
Ashes to ashes, mama sand to sand
It's hard to make the gal I'm lovin' understand

I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in the hollow log
Than to stay down here
Treated like a dog

If I had-a known like I know now
I wouldn't end up tied up with that gal nohow

I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in the hollow log
Than to stay round here
Treated like a dog

Sometime I get to thinkin' and I'm thinkin' to myself
How could she go and leave me for somebody else

I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in the hollow log
Than to stay around here
Treated like a dog

Play it again
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in the hollow log
Than to stay around here
Mistreated like a dog

The sun is goin' to shine in my backdoor someday
Then I'll have a chance to tell you 'bout your dirty way

I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in the hollow log
Than to stay around here
Treated like a dog
