[Verse 1]
Let it [E] rain, [Em] let it pour, [E] let it rain a [A] whole lot more
'Cause [E] I got them deep river [B] blues
[E] Let the rain [Em] drive right on, [E] let the waves [A] sweep along
'Cause [E] I got them [B] deep river [E] blues
 
[Verse 2]
[E] My old gal's a [Em] good old pal, and [E] she looks like a [A] water fowl
When [E] I get them deep river [B] blues
[E] Ain't no one to [Em] cry for me, and the [E] fish all go out [A] on a spree
When [E] I get them [B] deep river [E] blues

[E] Give me back [Em] my old boat, [E] I'm gonna sail [A] if she'll float

'Cause [E] I got them [B] deep river [E] blues
