Deep River Blues 
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 looks 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 Mussel Shoals, Times are better there I'm told, cause
 I got them 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. 
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 good-bye 'N if I sink, just let me die, cause
 I got them 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.
