Mississippi Heavy Water Blues

I went down to the levee with my head hangin' low Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues I think I heard a muskrat on that Arkansas side Screamin' how long 'til your sweet mama arrive I'm here in Mississippi with mud all up in my shoes She's down in the Louisiana with them high-water blues That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues I'm walkin' down that road with my head all in my hands Lookin' for a woman that ain't got no man I hope she come back to me, some day kind and true Nobody satisfies her like her sweet papa do That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues I went down to the levee with my head hangin' low Lookin for my sweet mama, but she ain't there no more The rain was fallin heavy and it washed her house away I'm prayin' lord, I'm prayin' I'll see her again some day That's what I'm crying, that's what I'm crying Ooh, Mississippi heavy water blues
