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
