Deep South 61 Delta Highway Blues

      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

Lost my roadmap in Memphis but I know I'm headed south

I feel the Mississippi call me down to its mouth
D                                                       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

Everything that they do
              E7            D7            A
