[Verse]
G B Em G/D
I ain't never seen the snowfall on the Delta
C A D
Like the one that's gonna cover all of New York to- night
G B Em G
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
C A D
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that's a southern man's field of white
[Bridge]
G B
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
Em D C
Been thinkin' 'bout rollin' on back home, back where I belong
[Chorus]
G C G
So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen, let the side wheels spin
D
'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I can't remember when
Em D C Cm
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
G D G
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi
[Instrumental]

People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
C A D
I'm just an- other face, lost in the crowd

There's a sweet sound bein' sung down in Dixie
C A/C# D
Now and again it gets me when I get to feelin' down
[Bridge]

Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
