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 sweep along,
´Cause I got them deep river blues.

My old gal´s a good old pal,
And she looks like a water fowl,
When I get them deep river blues.
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,
I´m gonna sail if she´ll float,
´Cause I got them deep river blues,
I´m goin´ back to Muscle Shoals,
Times are better there I´m told,
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 sweep along,
´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 sweep along,
´Cause I got them deep river blues
