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 it's this way, baby, that way any way you feel is right The Bayou's 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
