Back in 1983, Sonny Terry said to me
When I put the bottle down
My friends stopped comin' 'round
They were comin' for my whiskey
My malt liquor an' wine
Since I left it all behind, water works fine
Water works fine, pure an' sweet
It's a natural treat like a good woman's love
One crazy night, we drank tequila like beer
My recollection's unclear
You know I felt like dyin'
My face in the mirror
Scared the devil outta me
Made a blind man see
Water works fine
Water works fine, pure an' sweet
It's a natural treat like a good woman's love
Water works fine, served up neat
Well, it's a natural treat, like a good woman's love
ย
Hung-over, hung-up, drownin' in a cup
I was feelin' kinda strange
'Bout ready for a change
I was boozin' my mind, weavin' over the line
When I saw the road sign sayin' water works fine
Water works fine, so pure an' sweet
It's a natural treat like a good woman's love
Water works fine, best cure for the heat
From your head to your feet
Like a good woman's love
Water works fine, tastes pure an' sweet
Every day of the week like a good woman's love
Water works fine, well, it's a natural treat
Make me wanna dip my beak
Like a good woman's love
