I hate to hear that screen door slammin’
Hard for me to say goodbye
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 hoodoo man
He put his guitar in my hands
Said, “Cat you were born to play the blues
It’s in your blood that’s what you do”
Sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high
Cotton mouth don’t think before he strikes
Take these memories with me when I go
Miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
Momma sittin’ on the front porch swingin’
Sings a lonesome lullaby
Daddy puts his arms around her
Says, “Son do you have to say goodbye?”
You know I’ve been a lot of places
You know I’ve always sing the blues
But momma every road I travel down
Gonna bring me home to you
Sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high
Cotton mouth don’t think before he strikes
Take these memories with me when I go
Miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
Sun is hot and the sugar cane grows high
Cotton mouth don’t think before he strikes
Take these memories with me when I go
Miss my home down Muddy Springs Road
