Mississippi Heavy Water Blues
I went down to the levee with my head hangin' low
Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more
The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away
I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I think I heard a muskrat on that Arkansas side
Screamin' how long 'til your sweet mama arrive
I'm here in Mississippi with mud all up in my shoes
She's down in the Louisiana with them high-water blues
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I'm walkin' down that road with my head all in my hands
Lookin' for a woman that ain't got no man
I hope she come back to me, some day kind and true
Nobody satisfies her like her sweet papa do
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I went down to the levee with my head hangin' low
Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more
The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away
I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more
The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away
I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I think I heard a muskrat on that Arkansas side
Screamin' how long 'til your sweet mama arrive
I'm here in Mississippi with mud all up in my shoes
She's down in the Louisiana with them high-water blues
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I'm walkin' down that road with my head all in my hands
Lookin' for a woman that ain't got no man
I hope she come back to me, some day kind and true
Nobody satisfies her like her sweet papa do
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
I went down to the levee with my head hangin' low
Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more
The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away
I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day
That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying
Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
