Bilingual
Down in New Orleans, on the banks of a levy
My mouth was dry and my heart was heavy
A gray old man fishing next to me
Saw that look on my face, and he began to speak
And said, "Through my years I've learned my lesson
We're on the same boat trying to get to Heaven
This world is full of sin and strife
Son, let me give you some free advice"
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
Or wash your soul in a dirty stream
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean
Muddy water, dirty stream
M-m-muddy water, d-d-dirty stream
M-m-muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean
Though I never once saw that ol' man again
It's hard to believe how long it's been
The words he said really changed my life
I'm the first one to t-t-testify, t-t-testify (testify)
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
Or wash your soul in a dirty stream
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean
Muddy water, dirty stream
M-m-muddy water, d-d-dirty stream
M-m-muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
Or wash your soul in a dirty stream
You can't quench your thirst drinking muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean, yeah
Muddy water, (muddy water) and dirty stream
M-m-muddy water (muddy water), d-d-dirty stream
M-muddy water (hmm, mm), d-dirty stream
M-m-muddy water
There's only one well where the water is clean
