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
