Hey George.
Hey Pat. _ _ _

_ Um_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ When I_
_ When I first heard the Deep River Blues,
the [B] Delmore Brothers had recorded it,
and I thought,
I've got to learn this, and I couldn't get my guitar [Bm] to sound like both of theirs.
It would save [Am] my life, it [E] wouldn't do it.
_ _ Well, _ this was in 36, I believe,
when one of my brothers brought that record home,
and I listened to it some,
and I couldn't get my [B] guitar to sound a bit like both of theirs, [E] so_ _
[B] I got to listening to the radio along,
and I heard Kibosh a-pickin',
and I heard him a-doin' this lick right here,
[E] uh, with that big thumb. _
_ _ [Em] And I said,
boy, just wait a minute,
he was a playin' somethin' that wasn't Deep River Blues,
and I thought,
I can figure out what he's a-doin',
and I can learn that Deep [E] River Blues.
After about ten years of practice,
like, uh_ _

_ _ _ [E] Let that rain [Em] come on down,
[E] and wash [A] me blues [Em] all out of town,
cause [E] I got [B] that Deep [E] River Blues. _ _ _ _
_ My little gal,
[Em] she's a sweet little pal,
[E] she walks just like a [Em] waterfowl,
when [E] _ I got that [A] Deep River [B]
Blues.
