Ya bring me champagne when I'm thirsty,
Bring me reefer when I get high
Ya bring me champagne when I'm thirsty,
Bring me reefer when I get high
Well you know whenever I'm lonely,
Bring my woman,set her right down here by my side

Well you know it shouldn't be no law,
'gainst people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know it shouldn't be no law,
'gainst people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know it's good for your head,
and it relax your body don't you know

Every time I get high, I lay my head down in my baby's breast
Well you know I lay there and be quiet, tryin' to take my rest
Well you know she done hug me and kiss me, says
"Muddy, you're the one man I love the best"

Well I'm gonna get high, I'm gonna get high just to be sure to my name
Well you know I'm gonna get so high this mornin', it's gonna be a crying shame
Well I'm gonna stick with my reefer, I ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine


Poetry man, sheer poetry Smile

Although, if you take into account his double negatives...what is he actually saying?
