Doc Watson

Deep River Blues (Live)

 

Deep River Blues (Live)

(album: Doc Watson On Stage - 1971)


Sample of another kind of blues is the kind that
Alton and Rabon Delmore used to play
A song they called "Big River Blues"
Actually, sometimes it was called "Deep River Blues"
All the same difference
I'd listen to those boys and then I heard a fella named Travis
Merle Travis, play the guitar
And I thought about trying to put the...
One of their songs into his style
I worked out the... this part pretty easy
After I'd been a-practicing about ten years
I got to begin to get to where I could get the lead note in
Sound a little like this

Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep along
'Cause I got them deep river blues

My old gal's a good old pal and she walks like a water foul
If I get them deep river blues
There ain't no one to cry for me and all the fish go out on a spree
If I get them deep river blues

Give me back my old boat, I'm gonna sail if she'll float
'Cause I got them deep river blues
I'm going back to Muscle Shoals, times getting better there, I'm told
Lord, I got them deep river blues

If my boat sinks with me, I'll go down, don't you see?
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Now I'm gonna say goodbye and if I sink, just let me die
'Cause I got them deep river blues

Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let them waves sweep along
'Cause I got them deep river blues

done
