[Introduction]
A

[Verse 1]
A D7
Walking down the Levee with my head hanging low,
A D7 A
Looking for my sweet mama Lord but she ain't here no more,
A D7
I'm here in Misissippi and there's mud all in my shoes
A D7 A
And the folks in Louisiana got the high water blues
D7 A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A
Mississippi heavy water blues.

[Verse 2]
A D7
Standing here a'looking, at all of this mud,
A D7 A
And my good girl washed away in this Mississippi flood,
A D7
I thought I heard her moan on the Arkansas side
A D7 A
Come across sweet daddy lord and let your momma ride
D7 A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A A7
Mississippi heavy water blues

[Bridge]
D7 A7 D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A
Momma, Momma your daddy misses you

[Verse 3]
A D7
Got lots of mud and water and don't need no water cold
A D7 A
I just need sweet Momma boys to satisfy my soul
A D7
Lord lord lord she was so kind and true,
A D7 A
Said no other man could love her like her sweet poppa do
D7 A
I swear I'm crying, can't keep from crying
D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A
Mississippi heavy water blues

[Verse 4]
A D7
It's hard hard times and my house done washed away
A D7 A
And I'm crying how long for another pay day
A D7
Lord have mercy I feel the ground a'shakin'
A D7 A
whole towns a sinking Lord the levees all a'breaking
D7 A
I swear I'm crying , can't keep from crying
D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A A7
Mississippi heavy water blues

[Outro]
D7 A7 D7 E7 A E7 A E7 A7
Momma, Sweet Momma, your daddy misses you
