Mississippi Muddy Water Lyrics - Meet Me At Midnite - Maria Muldaur

Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore 

Headed homebound just once more 

To my Mississippi delta home 

Southland has that grand garden spot 

Although you believe or not 

I hear those breeze a-whispering: 

"Come on back to me" 

Muddy water 'round my feet 

Muddy water in the street 

Just God don't shelter 

Down on the delta 

Muddy water in my shoes 

Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues 

They live in ease and comfort 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 is my home 

Got my toes turned Dixie way 

'Round the delta let me lay 

My heart cries out for muddy water
