Introduction:
A

Verse 1:
A                                           D7
Walking down the Levee with my head hanging low,
A                                  D7                A
Looking for my sweet mama Lord but she ain't here no more,
    A                                            D7
I'm here in Misissippi and there's mud all in my shoes
         A                         D7         A
And the folks in Louisiana got the high water blues
            D7                       A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7          E7          A      E7   A   E7  A
Mississippi heavy water blues.
Verse 2:
A                                       D7
Standing here a'looking, at all of this mud,
       A                             D7          A
And my good girl washed away in this Mississippi flood,
  A                                        D7
I thought I heard her moan on the Arkansas side
A                                D7             A
Come across sweet daddy lord and let your momma ride
            D7                       A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7          E7          A      E7   A   E7  A  A7

Got lots of mud and water and don't need no water cold
A                               D7         A
I just need sweet Momma boys to satisfy my soul
A                                  D7
Lord lord lord she was so kind and true,
        A                                 D7          A
Said no other man could love her like her sweet poppa do
            D7                      A
I swear I'm crying, can't keep from crying

Verse 4:
     A                                         D7
It's hard hard times and my house done washed away
    A                       D7          A
And I'm crying how long for another pay day
A                                    D7
Lord have mercy I feel the ground a'shakin'
A                              D7          A
whole towns a sinking Lord the levees all a'breaking
            D7                       A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7          E7          A      E7   A   E7  A  A7
