Mississippi Heavy Water Blues |
| I was walking down the Levee with my head hanging low |
| Looking for my sweet mama but she ain’t here no more |
| Thats why Im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Lord, Lord, Lord, Im so blue, my house got washed away |
| And im crying «how long for another pay day» |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Im sitting here looking, at all of this mud |
| And my girl got washed away in that Mississippi flood |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| I hope she come back, some day kind and true |
| Ain’t no one satisfy her like her sweet papa do |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| I think I heard a moan, on the Arkansas side |
| Crying how long before sweet mama arrive |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Im in Mississippi, with mud all in my shoes |
| My girl in louisiana with those high water blues |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Spoken: Lord send me a sweet mama |
| Got plenty of muddy water, dont need no water cold |
| I need some sweet mama to send me daddy love |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Nothing but muddy water, as far as I could see |
| I need some sweet mama, come shake that thing with me |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Listen here you men, one more thing I’d like to say |
| Ain’t no womens out here, for they all got washed away |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
| Lord, Lord, Lord |
| Mississippi shakin' |
| Louisiana sinkin' |
| The whole towns a shrinkin' |
| Robert Hicks is Singin' |
| Thats why im crying Mississippi heavy water blues |
