Biografia:
Bessie Smith (Chattanooga, Tennessee, 15 de abril de 1894 - Clarksdale, Mississippi, 26 de setembro de 1937) A imperatriz do Blues começou a carreira cantando em bordéis, e em 1923 foi a Nova Iorque para a sua primeira gravação. Bessie Smith ficou na história da música devido ao seu incrível senso rítmico e habilidade de improvisar em cima das estruturas do Blues.
Dona de um forte temperamento, a cantora passava por constantes conflitos, visto que viveu num época marcada pela opressão racial nos Estados Unidos.

No Capo
[Verse]
Bb7 Gm F#7 F7
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Bb7 Gm F#7 F7
Headed homebound just once more
Bb7 Eb7 F7 Bb
To my Mississippi delta home
Bb7 Eb7 F#7 F7
Southland has that grand garden spot
Bb7 Gm F#7 F
Although you believe or not
[Verse]
Gm F#7 F7
I hear those breeze a-whispering:
C7 F7
"Come on back to me"
Bb7 Eb7
Muddy water 'round my feet
Bb7 F#7 F7
Muddy water in the street
Bb7 Eb7
Just God don't shelter
C7 F7
Down on the delta
Cm7 G7
Muddy water in my shoes
Cm7 G7
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
Gm7 F#7 F7
They live in ease and comfort down there I do declare
Bb7
Been away a year today
Eb7
To wander and roam
C7
I don't care it's muddy there
F7
But see it is my home
[Outro]
Bb7 Eb7
Got my toes turned Dixie way
Bb7 Eb7
'Round the delta let me lay
Bb7 Eb7 F7 Bb7
My heart cries out for muddy water
No Capo
