Lyrics of Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan) by Bessie Smith
verse
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Headed homebound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home
verse
Southland has that grand garden spot
Although you believe or not
I hear those breeze a-whispering
"Come on back to me"
verse
Muddy water 'round my feet
Muddy water in the street
Just God don't shelter
Down on the delta
verse
Muddy water in my shoes
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
They live in ease and comfort down there
I do declare
verse
Been away a year today
To wander and roam
I don't care, it's muddy there
But see it's my home
outro
Got my toes turned Dixie way
'Round the delta, let me lay
My heart cries out for muddy water
Writer(s): Peter Derose, Harry Richman, Jo Trent
