Mississippi Heavy Water Blues Lyrics
Mississippi Heavy Water Blues - Barbecue Bob
Written by：Traditional
I was walking down the levee
With my head hanging low
Looking for my sweet mama
But she ain't here no more
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
Lord lord lord
I'm so blue
My house got washed away
And I'm crying how long
For another pay day
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
I'm sitting here looking
At all of this mud
And my girl got washed away in that Mississippi flood
That's why I'm 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
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
I think I heard a moan
On the Arkansas side
Crying how long
Before sweet mama arrive
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
I'm in Mississippi
With mud all in my shoes
My girl in Louisiana with those high water blues
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
Lord send me a sweet mama
Got plenty of muddy water
Don't need no water cold
All I need some sweet mama
To send me daddy love
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
Nothing but muddy water
As far as I could see
I need some sweet mama
Come and shake that thing with me
That's why I'm 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
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
Lord lord lord
Mississippi shakin'
Louisiana sinkin'
The whole towns a shrinkin'
Robert hicks is singin'
That's why I'm crying
Mississippi heavy water blues
