Lyrics

Michigan water tastes like cherry wine Mean cherry wine Oh, the Mississippi water tastes like turpentine Michigan water tastes like cherry wine Believe to my soul, my gal's got a black cat bone Yeah, it's a black cat bone She go away, but she sure to come back home Michigan water tastes like cherry wine She looks like a frog, hops like a kangaroo If you ain't got no hopper Let you be your hopper, too Michigan water tastes like cherry wine Michigan water tastes like cherry wine Gal in Alabama, one in Spain Another in Mississippi, I'm scared to call her name Michigan water tastes like cherry wine Michigan water tastes like cherry wine
