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 if she’ll float 
‘Cause I got them deep river blues 
I’m goin’ back to Muscle 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 gonna say goodbye 
And if I sink, just let me die 
‘Cause I got them deep river blues
