You 
C C Rider 
, see what you done done 
C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You done made me love you and now your man don't come 
My home is on the water, I don't like no land at all 
Home's on the water and I don't like no land at all 
My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all 
I'd rather be dead than to stay here and be your dog 
So you C C Rider, see what you done done 
C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You made me love you and now your man don't come 
I'm goin' away baby, sure don't wanna go 
Goin' away baby, but I sure don't wanna go 
I'm goin' away baby, but I sure don't wanna go 
When I leave this time you never see me no more 
So you C C Rider, see what you done done 
C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You C C Rider, you see what you done done 
You have made me love you and now your man don't come 
My home is on the water and I don't like no land at all 
Home's on the water and I don't like no land at all 
My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all 
So goodbye baby I'm tired of bein' your dog
