Mississippi Heavy Water Blues

Mississippi Heavy Water Blues - Robert Hicks

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 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

Thats 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

Thats 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

Thats 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

Thats 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

Thats 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

I need some sweet mama to send me daddy love

Thats why I'm 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 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

Thats why I'm crying Mississippi heavy water blues

Lord Lord Lord

Mississippi shaking

Louisiana sinking

The whole towns a shrinking

Robert Hicks is Singing

Thats why I'm crying Mississippi heavy water blues
