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 big river blues My old gal's a good old pal And she looks like a water fowl When I get them big river blues Ain't no one to cry for me And the fish all go out on a spree When I get them big river blues Give me back my old boat I'm gonna sail if she'll float 'Cause I got them big river blues I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals Times are better there I'm told Cause I got them big river blues Let it rain, let it pour Let it rain a whole lot more 'Cause I got them big river blues Let the rain drive right on Let the waves sweep along 'Cause I got them big river blues If my boat sinks with me I'll go down, don't you see 'Cause I got them big river blues Now I'm gonna say goodbye And if I sink, just let me die 'Cause I got them big river blues Let it rain, let it pour Let it rain a whole lot more 'Cause I got them big river blues Let the rain drive right on Let the waves sweep along 'Cause I got them big river blues
