Deep River Blues

[Verse 1]

Let it rain, let it pour

Let it rain a whole lot more

'Cause I got them deep river blues

Let the rain drive right on

Let the waves just sweep along

'Cause I got them deep river blues

[Verse 2]

My old girl's a good old pal

She looks like a water fowl

When I get them deep river blues

When there ain't no one to cry for me

And the fish all go out on a spree

When I get them deep river blues

[Verse 3]

Give me back my old boat

And I'm gonna sail if she'll float

'Cause I got them deep river blues

Well I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals

Times are gettin' better there I'm told

'Cause I got them deep river blues

[Verse 4]

If my boat sinks with me

I'll go down, don't you see

'Cause I got them deep river blues

Now I'm gonna say goodbye

And if I sink, just let me die

'Cause I got them deep river blues

[Verse 5]

Let it rain, let it pour

Let it rain a whole lot more

'Cause I got them deep river blues

Let the rain drive right on

Let the waves just sweep along

'Cause I got them deep river blues

'Cause I got them deep river blues
