Mississippi Heavy Water Blues Lyrics

Walking down the levee with my head a-hanging low
Looking for my sweet mama, Lordy, she ain't here no more
That's why I'm crying, that's why I'm crying
I've got the Mississippi heavy water blues

Time in Louisiana with those mud all in my shoes
In my gallon Mississippi with those high water blues
That's why I'm crying, that's why I'm crying
I've got the Mississippi heavy water blues

If I'm walking down the road with my hat all in my hand
I'm a-looking for the woman that ain't got no man
That's why I'm crying, that's why I'm crying
Got the Mississippi heavy water blues
