Muddy Water

Muddy Water - Vaughn De Leath/The Okeh Melodians

Dixie moonlight swanee shore

Headed homebound just once more

To my mississippi delta home

Southland got 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 high way

Round the delta let me lay

My heart cries out for muddy water

Muddy water in my shoes

Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues

They live in ease and comfort down there

You 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 high way

Round the delta let me lay

My heart cries out for muddy water
