Don't Go No Farther
Homecoming of Love: Embracing the Essence in Muddy Waters' 'Don't Go No Farther'
Lyrics
You need meat, go to the market
You should get meat, go to the market.
You need bread, try the bakery
If you need bread, try the bakery.
You need love, don't go no further
For love, there's no need to search elsewhere; come back to me.
Just come on home to me
Return home to me for love.
I got to love somebody

I got to love somebody

-Somebody's gotta love me
-You need grits, go to the grocery
If you need grits, go to the grocery store.
You need fish, go to the sea
For fish, go to the sea.
You need love, look for me, baby

You need honey, look for the bees
If you need honey, look for the bees.
