Lyrics

Michigan water taste like sherry wine, mean, sherry wine. Oh, the Mississippi water taste like turpentine. Michigan water taste like sherry wine. B'lieve to my soul that gal got a black-cat bone, yes, black-cat bone. She'll go away but she's sho' to come back home. Michigan water taste like sherry wine. She looks like a frog, hops like a kangaroo. If you ain't got no hopper, then she'll be your hopper too. Michigan water taste like sherry wine. Michigan water taste like sherry wine. Gal in Alabama, one in Spain, Another in Mississippi. I'm scared to call her name. Michigan water taste like sherry wine, mm-mm. Michigan water taste like sherry wine.
