Lyrics:
( Bessie Smith )Dixie moonlight, Swanee shoreHeaded homebound just once moreTo my Mississippi delta homeSouthland got that grand garden spotAlthough you believe or notI hear those breeze a-whispering'Come on back to me'Muddy water 'round my feetMuddy water in the streetNo God don't shelterDown on the deltaMuddy water in my shoesReeling and rocking to them lowdown bluesThey live in ease and comfort down thereI do declareBeen away a year todayTo wander and roamI don't care it's muddy thereBut this is my homeGot my toes turned Dixie way'Round the delta let me layMy heart cries out for muddy waterBeen away a year todayTo wander and roamI don't care it's muddy thereBut this is my homeGot my toes turned Dixie way'Round the delta let me layMy heart cries out for muddy water
