john mayall – dirty water lyrics
well i don’t need you hangin’ round my door
tryin’ to drag me back down to the sh-r-
and i ain’t gonna drink your dirty water no more
well i got wet from my head down to my legs
and i drank dirty water down to the dregs
but i won’t do it again i don’t care who begs
dirty water – now what’s that for
dirty water – i ain’t drinkin’ no more
i ain’t drinkin’ no more
you got a lie underneath your tongue where it
can’t be seen
and you want to put the truth on guillotine
but you might as well put out a fire with gasoline
well you can serve dirty water from a golden cup
you can try to lock up the truth but the door won’t shut
’cause the truth just keeps comin’ out like blood from a cut
chorus
you can try to sweeten dirty water up with grenadine
but i can still read you just like a magazine
and i ain’t gonna drink no more till the water runs clean
chorus
baby you got the kind of love that i can’t afford
and i don’t have a taste for what’s in that gl-ss you poured
now i ain’t gonna drink that dirty water no more
