Jimmie Rodgers - Mississippi delta blues

With fri^Bbends around and even pals that I k^C7now are true ^F7Still I'm lonely, homesick and ^Bbblue T^Bbhere's no one who can cheer me when ^C7I'm alone Longing for my Mississippi h^Bbome

^BbWay down in the delta on that Mississippi sh^Fore In that muddy water, I long to be once m^Bbore ^D7When night shadows creep about an^G7d the whippoorwill callS ^C7You can hear old mammy shout, "^F7Come in here, you all"

^BbWay down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon li^Gght You can see those steamboats and the fi^A7elds of snowy wh^Dite That's a f^Ebeeling I can't ^Ebmlose muddy w^Bbater in my ^G7shoes ^C7When I get those Mis^F7sissippi Delta blu^Bbes

I l^Bbong to hear them talk and sing those g^C7olden melodies ^FSwanee River and Ol' Black ^BbJoe That s^Bbweet magnolia perfume ^C7floating on the breeze Way down south is where I long to g^F7o

^BbWay down in the delta on that Mississippi sh^Fore In that muddy water, I long to be once m^Bbore ^D7When night shadows creep about an^G7d the whippoorwill callS ^C7You can hear old mammy shout, "^F7Come in here, you all"

^BbWay down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon li^Gght You can see those steamboats and the fi^A7elds of snowy wh^Dite That's a f^Ebeeling I can't ^Ebmlose muddy w^Bbater in my ^G7shoes ^C7When I get those Mis^F7sissippi Delta blu^Bbes
