Muddy water round my feet

Muddy water in the street

Just Gods don't shelter

Down on the Delta

Muddy water in my shoes

Rockin' to them low-down blues

They live in ease comfort down there

I declare

Been away

A year today

To wander and roam

I don't care

It's muddy there

Still it's my home

Got my toes turned Dixie way

Round the Delta let me lay

My heart cries out for muddy water

Muddy water round my feet

Muddy water in the street

Just Gods don't shelter

Down on the Delta

Muddy water in my shoes

Rockin' to them low-down blues

They live in ease comfort down there

I declare

Been away

A year today

To wander and roam

I don't care

It's muddy there

Still that's my home

Got my toes turned Dixie way

Round the Delta let me lay

My heart cries out

My heart cries out

My heart cries out for muddy water
