Mississippi Heavy Water Blues - Doc & Merle Watson

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
