Deep River Blues lyrics

Deep river! Deep river!
Mississippi River, so deep and wide;
My heart is breakin` as I watch the evenin`tide,
Because I`m over here; my man is on the other side.

If I had the means,
I`d go to New Orleans,
But right at this time I ain`t got a dime to spare.

Deep river! Deep river!
When I feel weary I come to you,
I come and see, the side he went,
I`m feelin` blue;
`Cause you`re the only one that I can tell my troubles to.

At the break of day,
You`ll find me gone away,
There`s no one to care or wanna know where I`m gone.

Deep river blues!
I can`t refuse
Your sweet melody,
I`ll always be
By your side when evenin`tide comes `long!

Deep river! Deep river!
When I sleep beside you, I never fear;
You`ll always be, you need to be
A friend so dear,
And if you see my man, please tell him that it`s lonesome here!

If I get the blues,
Then I`ll take off my shoes,
I`ll look to the Lord and jump overboard and drown.
