I hate to hear that screen door slammin´ It´s hard for me to say good-bye Can´t stand to think about leavin´ I sure hate to see my Momma cry
Born and raised a delta child Took off runnin´ and got real wild Used to spend my nights down across the tracks Where the whiskey was white and the blues was black
No matter where I´ve been or where I go My heart is never far from old Muddy Springs Muddy Springs Road
I fell in with the Hoo Doo Man Put his guitar in my hands Said "Cat you were born to play the blues It´s in your blood that´s what you´ll do"
The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high And the cotton mouth don´t think before he strikes I take these memories with me when I go I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
Momma sittin´ on the front porch swinging Sings a lonesome lullabye Daddy come and puts his arms around her Says "Son do you have to say good-bye?"
Well you know I´ve been a lot of places And you know I´ll always sing the blues But Momma every road I travel down Is gonna bring me home to you
The sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high And the cotton mouth don´t think before he strikes I take these memories with me when I go I miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
