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 walks 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 it if she floats
'Cause I got them deep river blues
I'm going back to mussel shoals,
times are better there I'm told
'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 going to say goodbye
and if I sink just let me die
'Cause I got them deep river blues
