[Verse 1]
Ain't that water lucky, lucky all the day
All that motion, creep to ocean, everything is way
Mississippi you know me, I'm one of your Southern sons
I know one day wager, which way we run
[Verse 2]
Do you know me water, I see you in my dreams
Tell me muddy water, are you lonely like me
If you take me under, I'll let go of my earthly charms
Will you be revealing, when I'm sleeping in your arms
[Verse 3]
Water I hear you talking, and your boges and your tugs
You got no lungs, blood, you just shrimp and crab in piping mud
But your show boat on the whaling
And like me they'll soon be gone
Ah but ain't you careless water
You just keep driving home
[Verse 4]
Now ain't you funny water, this land you done divide
Now who's the poor relation, living on the other side
Ain't you funny water, funny how you flow
Save a soul Sunday morning, drown them when the sun go low
Save a soul Sunday morning, drown them when the sun go low
Go low
