Dixie moonlight
Swanee shore
Headed home bound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home
Southland has that grand garden spot
Although
You believe it or not
I hear those breezes a whispering
Come on back to me
Muddy water round my feet
Muddy water in the street
Just gods don't shelter
Down on the delta
Muddy water in my shoes
Reelin' and rockin' to them low down blues
They live in comfort and ease down there
I do declare
Been away
A year today
To wander and roam
I don't care
It's muddy there
But see
It's my home
Got my toes turned Dixie way
'Round the delta let me lay
My heart cries out for muddy water
