        G              B               Em    G/D
I ain't never seen the snowfall on the Delta
         C                      A                   D
Like the one that's gonna cover all of New York to- night
       G                          B                  Em     G
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
                 C                         A                       D
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that's a southern man's field of white

[Bridge]
        G                                      B
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
     Em             D               C
Been thinkin' 'bout rollin' on back home, back where I belong

[Chorus]
             G                               C                   G
So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen, let the side wheels spin
                                               D
'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I can't remember when
          Em                  D                  C               Cm
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
    G                 D          G
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi

G                  B                 Em          G
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
             C           A           D
I'm just an- other face, lost in the crowd
          G                 B/F#         Em    G/D
There's a sweet sound bein' sung down in Dixie
                 C            A/C#                  D
Now and again it gets me when I get to feelin' down

[Bridge]
        G                                      B
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
     Em             D               C                      Cm
Been thinkin' 'bout rollin' on back home, back where I be- long

[Chorus]
             G                               C                   G
So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen, let the side wheels spin
                                               D
'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I can't remember when
          Em                  D                  C               Cm
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
    G                 D          C
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi

All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
