Michigan water tastes like cherry wine I said cherry, I mean wine Michigan water tastes like cherry wine I'm going back to Michigan see the girl I left behind I believe to my soul, that girls got a black cat I said black cat, I mean bone I believe to my soul that that girl's got a black cat bone Because every time I leave her, I come walking home Well there's two kind of people in this world that I can't I said I can't, I can't stand Yes there's two kind of people in this world that I can't stand That's a two-faced woman and her monkey man Well I ain't so much a rabbit till I hopped up like a kangaroo I said kanga, I mean roo Well I ain't so much a rabbit till I hopped up like a kangaroo And if you ain't got no hoppa momma, let me hop on you Michigan water tastes like cherry wine I said cherry, I mean wine And Mississippi water tastes like turpentine I'm going back to Michigan, see the girl I left behind That Michigan blues
