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
