Deep River Blues

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 sweep along, cause

I got them deep river blues.



My old gal's a good old pal,

And she looks like a water fowl, when

I get them deep river blues,

Ain't no one to cry for me,

And the fish all go out on a spree when

I get them deep river blues.



Give me back my old boat

I'm gonna sail if she'll float, cause

I got them deep river blues,

I'm goin' back to Mussel Shoals,

Times are better there I'm told, cause

I got them deep river blues.



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 sweep along, cause

I got them deep river blues.



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 good-bye

'N if I sink, just let me die, cause

I got them deep river blues.



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 sweep along, cause

I got them deep river blues.
