A
Well everybody telling me they're leaving
A7
Tired of this town and all the deceiving
          D
You know they've all got religion see visions
                     A
Everything that they do
              E7            D7            A
Me I got the deep south 61 Delta highway blues


[Verse]

   A
Lost my roadmap in Memphis but I know I'm headed south
A7
I feel the Mississippi call me down to its mouth
D                                                       A
To a town called New Orleans where they call a street a La Rue
       E7                        D7
Cajun ladies know about these deep south 61 Delta
          A
highway blues


[Verse]

A
And it's this way baby that way anyway you feel is right
A7
The Bayou's on fire in the southland tonight
D                                                           A
I've been everywhere baby but I've never been nowhere with you
E7                         D7             A
Shake these deep south 61 Delta highway blues


[Verse]

A
And I'm setting on the levee trying to stay high and dry
A7
Setting on the levee watch my life passing by
D                                                     A
Water gets much higher it will start flowing into my boots
                        E7         D7            A
No way to lose these deep south 61 Delta highway blues


[Verse]

      A
Well everybody telling me they're leaving
A7
Tired of this town and all the deceiving
          D
You know they've all got religion see visions
                     A
Everything that they do
              E7            D7            A
Me I got the deep south 61 Delta highway blues
