   DEEP SOUTH 61 DELTA HIGHWAY BLUES

   Well everybody telling me they’re leaving
   Tired of this town and all the deceiving
   You know they’ve all got religion see visions
   Everything that they do
   Me I got the deep south 61 Delta highway blues

   Lost my roadmap in Memphis but I know I’m headed south
   I feel the Mississippi call me down to its mouth
   To a town called New Orleans where they call a street a La Rue
   Cajun ladies know about these deep south 61 Delta
   highway blues

   And its this way baby that way anyway you feel is right
   The Bayous on fire in the southland tonight
   I’ve been everywhere baby but I’ve never been nowhere with you
   Shake these deep south 61 Delta highway blues

   And I’m setting on the levee trying to stay high and dry
   Setting on the levee watch my life passing by
   Water gets much higher it will start flowing into my boots
   No way to lose these deep south 61 Delta highway blues
