I use to play Deep River Blues once in a while but never got around to learning all the proper words so here they are. This is the Doc Watson version rather than the Wizz Jones version which is where I first heard the song.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.My old gal's a good old pal,And she looks like a water fowl,When I get them deep river blues.Ain't no one to cry for me,And the fish all go out on a spreeWhen I get them deep river blues.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 are better there I'm told,Cause I got them deep river blues.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.If my boat sinks with me.I'll go down, don't you see,'Cause I 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.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
