Madeleine Peyroux - Muddy Water lyrics

Dixie moonlight Swanee shore Headed homebound just once more To my Mississippi delta home Southland got that grand garden spot Although you believe or not I hear those trees a-whispering "Come on back to me" Muddy water 'round my feet Muddy water in the street No God don't shelter Down on the delta Muddy water in my shoes Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues They live in ease and comfort down there I do declare Been away a year today To wander and roam I don't care it's muddy there But this is my home Got my toes turned Dixie way 'Round the delta let me lay My heart cries out for muddy water Been away a year today To wander and roam I don't care it's muddy there But this is my home Got my toes turned Dixie way 'Round the delta let me lay My heart cries out for muddy water
