Fog Water

Oh fog water, when you lettin' out
Into that clear brown bottom river?
For I've been floatin' for too damn long
Through this lonesome cloud
I ain't askin' for no fast movin' open road
Just a smooth old passage into Ohio
Just take me down the crooked Cuyahoga
To the only home I know

Oh fog water, won't you lead me down
Into the clear brown bottom river
For I done drank up all the whiskey
On this lonesome boat
See I been runnin' from a woman up in New York City
She don't like the song I wrote
And lord knows she ain't the only one
Oh she ain't the only one I know

Oh fog water, won't you lead me down
And wash me in a cleaner river?
Cause I just finished up a cheap cigar
And I smell of too much smoke
You know I still must please my father and mother
I swear to you it ain't no joke
For if I should lose them and my sister and my brother
You know I'd be all alone

Now oh fog water, when you lettin' out
Into that clear brown bottom river?
For I've been floating for too damn long through your lonesome cloud
I know I've made a few people quite angry
Oh lord knows I have done wrong
But won't you take me down the crooked Cuyahoga
To the place where I belong
Oh won't you take me down the crooked Cuyahoga
To the place where I belong
