Let it rain, let it pour

Let it rain a whole lot more

′Cause I got them deep river bluesLet the rain drive right on

Let the waves just sweep along

'Cause I got them deep river blues

My old girl′s a good old pal

She looks like a water fowl

When I get them deep river blues

When there 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

And I'm gonna sail if she′ll float

′Cause I got them deep river blues

Well I'm goin′ back to Muscle Shoals

Times are gettin' better there I′m told

'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 goodbye

And 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 just sweep along

′Cause I got them deep river blues

'Cause I got them deep river blues
