[Verse 1]

       E7    Edim7        E7            A7
Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
       E7                    B7
'Cause I got them deep river blues
E7            Edim7          E7            A7
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep along
       E7         B7         E                
'Cause I got them deep river blues


[Verse 2]

E7             Edim7             E7               A7
My old gal's a good old pal, and she looks like a water fowl
     E7                    B7
When I get them deep river blues
E7              Edim7               E7              A7
Ain't no one to cry for me, and the fish all go out on a spree
     E7         B7         E         
When I get them deep river blues

Give me back my old boat, I'm gonna sail if she'll float
       E7                    B7
'Cause I got them deep river blues
E7                Edim7          E7               A7
I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals, times are better there I'm told
       E7         B7         E     
'Cause I got them deep river blues

If my boat sinks with me, I'll go down, don't you see
       E7                    B7
'Cause I got them deep river blues
E7            Edim7            E7              A7
Now I'm gonna say goodbye, and if I sink, just let me die
