Doc Watson Deep River Blues Lyrics

Deep River Blues 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
