Slough Water

I won't say I ne'er long for Jordan I've heard about those crystal sea I won't say I ne'er long for Jordan But muddy water Mississippi calls to me When I think of home I think Kudzu hollows Mother, father, brothers there And sometimes home gets hard to swallow And still I seek that Delta land Ol' slough water Sure is cold Ol' slough water Leave you dirty, leave you whole And there's some folks I ain't seen in month of Sundays I head down Highway 94 See my aunt Sally and all my cousins And sit out on that oakwood porch Ol' slough water Sure is cold And I won't say I I ne'er long for Jordan I've heard about those crystal seas And I won't say I I ne'er long for Jordan But muddy water, Mississippi calls to me Oh muddy water, Mississippi calls to me
