With friends around and even [G] pals that I [C] know are true, _ [F] still I'm lonely, [Dm] _
_ homesick and [Bb] blue. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] There's no one who can share [F] me when I'm alone, [D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] longing for [C] my Mississippi _ _ home. _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] Way down in the delta _ _ on that Mississippi [C] _ [Cm] shore, _ in [Abm] that muddy [F] _ water _ I long to be [Bb] once more.
_ _ When night [D] shadows creep about _ _ and the whippoorwills [Gm] call, [Bb] _ [C] _ _
you can hear old Mammy shout,
come and hear you all.
[G] _
[Bb] Way down on the _ levee, _ strolling in the pale [Cm] moonlight, _ [F] you can see [G] those _ steamboats and [Gm] the fields of snowy white. _ _
[Eb] There's a feeling I can't lose, that [Bb] muddy water in [G] my shoes, _ _ _
[F] when I get [G] that Mississippi delta [Bb] blue.
_ _ _ _ The [F] old lee, _ _ ole, the [Bb] old lee. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Bb] I long to hear them dockies sing [C] those old melodies. _ _
_ [F] Sewanee [Dm] River and old [Bb] Black Joe, _ _ _ _ that sweet magnolia _ perfume [F] floating on the _ [D] _ breeze. _
[Gm] Way down [D] south is [C] where I long [G] to go, _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Bb] way down in the delta _ _ on [G] that Mississippi _ [Cm] shore, _ [F] in that muddy water I long to be once [Bb] more.
_ When night shadows [D] creep about _ _ and the [Gm] whippoorwills [Bb] call, [C] _ _ you can hear old Mammy shout, _ come on and hear [G] you [F] all.
_ [Bbm] Way down on [Gm] the _ levee, [Bb] strolling [G] in the pale [Cm] moonlight, _ _ [F] you [Abm] can see [Dm] those steamboats [Gm] and the fields of snowy white.
_ [Eb] There's a feeling I can't lose, that [Bb] muddy water in [G] my shoes, _ _ when I get [A] that Mississippi delta [Bb] blue. _ _
The _ [F] old lee, _ _ ole, the [Bb] old lee. _ _
