Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Michigan Water Blues (C Williams)
Subject: Lyr Add: MICHIGAN WATER BLUES

Here's a version I made up with some Michigan type lyrics:
Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
But Mississippi water tastes like turpentine.
I got a girl in Traverse City, one in Cadillac.
I got a girl in Traverse City, one in Cadillac.
You know she always carry 5 pounds in a 10 pound sack.
The Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
But Mississippi water tastes like turpentine.
I went to see my baby; she hid out with another boy.
I went to see my baby; she hid out with another boy.
That's all right mama; I got another girl in Detroit.
Where the Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
But Mississippi water tastes like turpentine.
Well, she bark like a dog and she hop like a kangaroo.
Well, she bark like a dog and she hop like a kangaroo.
If you wont be my baby, I'm going back to Kalamazoo.
Where the Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
Michigan water tastes like cherry wine.
But Mississippi water tastes like turpentine.
Enjoy
