Mississippi Delta Blues by Jimmie Rodgers - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Jimmie Rodgers Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse 1]
        Bb                                C7
With friends around and even pals that I know are true
F7                             Bb
Still I'm lonely, homesick and blue
 Bb                                  C7
There's no one who can cheer me when I'm  alone
                            Bb
Longing for my Mississippi home

[Chorus]
Bb                                          F
Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore
                                        Bb
In that muddy water, I long to be once more
D7                               G7
When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill callS
C7                             F7
You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"

Bb                                                  G
Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light
                                       A7              D
You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
          Eb             Ebm          Bb         G7
That's a feeling I can't lose  muddy water in my shoes
C7                  F7                Bb
When I get those Mississippi Delta blues

[Verse 2]
   Bb                                    C7
I long to hear them talk and sing those golden melodies
F                          Bb
Swanee River and Ol' Black Joe
      Bb                    C7
That sweet magnolia perfume floating on the breeze
                                   F7
Way down south is where I long to go

[Chorus]
Bb                                          F
Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore
                                        Bb
In that muddy water, I long to be once more
D7                               G7
When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill callS
C7                             F7
You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"

Bb                                                  G
Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light
                                       A7              D
You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
          Eb             Ebm          Bb         G7
That's a feeling I can't lose  muddy water in my shoes
C7                  F7                Bb
When I get those Mississippi Delta blues
