Lyrics - Bessie Smith---Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan)

Send "Bessie Smith---Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan)" Ringtone to your Cell

Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore

Headed homebound just once more

To my Mississippi delta home

Southland has that grand garden spot

Although you believe or not

I hear those breeze a-whispering:

'Come on back to me'

Muddy water 'round my feet

Muddy water in the street

Just God don't shelter

Down on the delta

Muddy water in my shoes

Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues

They live in ease and comfort down there

I do declare

Been away a year today

To wander and roam

I don't care it's muddy there

But see it is my home

Got my toes turned Dixie way

'Round the delta let me lay

My heart cries out for muddy water

Send "Bessie Smith---Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan)" Ringtone to your Cell
