Michigan Water Blues

[Verse 1]
Michigan water taste like sherry, I said sherry, Lord, I mean sherry wine
Michigan water taste just like sherry wine
And I'm going back to Michigan to the one I left behind

[Verse 2]
Lord, I believe to my soul that man’s got a black cat bone, I said black cat, I mean bone
Believe to my soul that man's got a black cat bone
Every time I leave him, I've got to hurry back home

[Verse 3]
Now there’s two people, two kind of people in this world that I can't stand
Two kind of people, Lord, I just can't stand
And that's a two-faced woman and a monkey man

[Cornet Solo]

[Verse 4]
I was born in Texas, reared in Tenne— I mean Tenne— Lord, Tennessee
I was born in Texas, reared in Tennessee
But that Michigan man sure has made a wreck of me

[Verse 5]
Lord, I got a letter from my daddy, from my daddy, Lord, full of news
I received a letter, and it was chock full of good news
It said if I come back to Michigan, it would cure me of my Michigan blues
