Bessie Smith - Muddy Water lyrics
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Headed homebound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home
Southland has that grand garden spot
Although you believe or not
I hear those breeze a-whispering
"Come on back to me"
Muddy water 'round my feet
Muddy water in the street
Just God don't shelter
Down on the delta
Bessie Smith - Muddy Water - http://motolyrics.com/bessie-smith/muddy-water-lyrics.html
Muddy water in my shoes
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
They live in ease and comfort down there
I do declare
Been away a year today
To wander and roam
I don't care, it's muddy there
But see it's my home
Got my toes turned Dixie way
'Round the delta, let me lay
My heart cries out for muddy water
