Song 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 big river blues.

My old gal's a good old pal,
And she looks like a water fowl,
When I get them big river blues.
Ain't no one to cry for me,
And the fish all go out on a spree
When I get them big river blues.

Give me back my old boat,
I'm gonna sail if she'll float,
'Cause I got them big river blues,
I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals,
Times are better there I'm told,
Cause I got them big river blues.

Let it rain, let it pour,
Let it rain a whole lot more,
'Cause I got them big river blues,
Let the rain drive right on,
Let the waves sweep along,
'Cause I got them big river blues.

If my boat sinks with me.
I'll go down, don't you see,
'Cause I got them big river blues,
Now I'm gonna say goodbye,
And if I sink, just let me die,
'Cause I got them big river blues.

Let it rain, let it pour,
Let it rain a whole lot more,
'Cause I got them big river blues,
Let the rain drive right on,
Let the waves sweep along,
'Cause I got them big river blues.
