deep river blues [live in new york / 1970] - doc watson lyrics

[intro]
sample of another kind of blues is the kind that
alton and rabon delmore used to play
a song they called “big river blues”
actually, sometimes it was called “deep river blues”
all the same difference
i’d listen to those boys and then i heard a fella named travis
merle travis, play the guitar
and i thought about tryin’ to put the—
one of their songs into his style
i worked out the— this part pretty easy
after i’d been a*practicin’ about ten years
i got to begin to gеt to where i could get thе lead note in
sound a little like this

[verse 1]
let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
’cause i got them deep river blues
let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep along
’cause i got them deep river blues

[verse 2]
my old gal’s a good old pal and she walks like a water foul
if i get them deep river blues
there ain’t no one to cry for me and all the fish go out on a spree
if i get them deep river blues
[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
give me back my old boat, i’m gonna sail if she’ll float
’cause i got them deep river blues
i’m goin’ back to muscle shoals, times gettin’ better there, i’m told
lord, i got them deep river blues

[verse 4]
if my boat sinks with me, i’ll go down, don’t you see?
’cause i’ve got them deep river blues
now i’m gonna say goodbye and if i sink, just let me die
’cause i got them deep river blues

[instrumental break]

[verse 1]
let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
’cause i’ve got them deep river blues
let the rain drive right on, let them waves sweep along
’cause i got them deep river blues
