Verse
[G] [D#7] [D7]
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
[G] [D#7] [D7]
Headed homebound just once more
[G] [E7] [A7] [D7] [G] [D7]
To my Mississippi delta home
[G] [D#7] [D7]
Southland got that grand garden spot
[G] [B7] [Em7]
Although you believe or not
[A7]
I hear those trees a-whispering
[D7] [D#7] [D7]
"Come on back to me"
[Prechorus]
[G] [Cm7]
Muddy water 'round my feet
[G] [G]
Muddy water in the street
[G] [C7]
No God don't shelter
[A7] [D7]
Down on the delta
[Am7] [E7]
Muddy water in my shoes
[Am7] [E7]
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
[A7]
They live in ease and comfort down there
[D7] [D#7] [D7]
I do declare
Chorus
[Gmaj7] [G7]
Been away a year today
[C] [C7]
To wander and roam
[A7]
I don't care it's muddy there
[D7]
But this is my home
[G] [Cm7]
Got my toes turned Dixie way
[G] [C7]
'Round the delta let me lay
[G] [E7] [A7] [D7] [G]
My heart cries out for muddy water
(Twice through the chorus)
