LYRICS

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
