#MUDDY WATER QUEEN – 1970s Soul Rock

Oh yeah... let me tell you somethin'
Some folks live... some folks just work til they die.

Worked that line down in Memphis town,
Steel toe boots and a boss man always starin' down,
Mama said "Girl, that ain't no life for you",
So I took my last dollar, cut that chain in two.

Heard a whistle blowin' on the midnight track,
One-way ticket, ain't never lookin' back!

She's ROLLIN'! On that muddy water queen!
Left my tears behind in that gasoline dream!
Wash my sins in that river steam!
I'm rollin', rollin' on the muddy water queen!
I'm rollin', rollin' on the muddy water queen!

Got no money, got a whole lotta soul,
River captain told me "Girl, you take control",
Big smoke stack and a paddle wheel whine,
If you wanna be free you gotta leave the line!

She's ROLLIN'! On that muddy water queen!
[You hear me?] [ We hear ya!]
Left that hard life washed it clean!
[ Gonna wash it clean?] [ Wash it clean!]
I'm rollin', rollin' on the muddy water queen!

I left that factory! (LEFT THAT FACTORY!)
I left that man! (LEFT THAT MAN!)
Got the river in my hands!

Ohhh, take me higher! Yeah!

She's ROLLIN'! On that muddy water queen!
Tears behind me, diesel in between!
Ain't no stoppin' this river queen!
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
ROLLIN' ON THE MUDDY WATER QUEEN!
Oh yeah! River take me home!
