Muddy Water (A Mississipi Moan) |
| Dixie |
| moonlight, Swanee shore |
| Headed homebound just once more |
| To my Mississippi delta home |
| Southland has that grand garden spot |
| Although you believe or not |
| I hear those breeze a-whispering: |
| «Come on back to me» |
| Muddy water 'round my feet |
| Muddy water in the street |
| Just God don’t shelter |
| Down on the delta |
| Muddy water in my shoes |
| Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues |
| They live in ease and comfort down there |
| I do declare |
| Been away a year today |
| To wander and roam |
| I don’t care it’s muddy there |
| But see it is my home |
| Got my toes turned Dixie way |
| 'Round the delta let me lay |
| My heart cries out for muddy water |
