Mississippi Delta Blues by Jimmie Rodgers
Mississippi Delta Blues
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C C7 F G
With friends around and even pals that I know are true
G G7 C
Still I'm lonely, homesick and blue
C C7 F
There's no one who can cheer me when I'm all alone
G G7 C
Longing for my Mississippi home
[Chorus]
C C7 C C7 G
Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore
G G7 C
In that muddy water, I long to be once more
C C7 C Am
When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill callS
D D7 D G
You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"
C C7 C C7 G
Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light
G G7 G C+
You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
F C
That's a feeling I can't lose that muddy water in my shoes
G G7 C
When I get those Mississippi Delta blues
[Verse 2]
C C7 F G
I long to hear them talk and sing those old melodies
G G7 C
Swanee River and Ol' Black Joe
C C7 F
That sweet magnolia perfume floating on the breeze
G G7 C
Way down south is where I long to go
[Chorus]
C C7 C C7 G
Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore
G G7 C
In that muddy water, I long to be once more
C C7 C Am
When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill callS
D D7 D G
You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"
C C7 C C7 G
Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light
G G7 G C+
You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
F C
That's a feeling I can't lose that muddy water in my shoes
G G7 C
When I get those Mississippi Delta blues
