[Lyrics] I was walking down the Levee with my head hanging low. Looking for my woman, but she ain't here no more. Im sitting here looking, at all of this mud, And my girl got washed away in that Mississippi flood. I hope she come back, some day kind and true, Ain't no one satisfy her like her sweet papa do. Im in Mississippi, with mud all in my shoes, My girl's in Louisiana with those high water blues. Nothing but muddy water, as far as I can see, I need some sweet mama, come shake that thing with me. Listen here you men, one more thing I'd like to say, Ain't no womens out here, for they all got washed away. ************************************ | / Slide up | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off ************************************
