I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no peace My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind Take me down to the levee where the women sing Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing Take me down to the levee where the river flows Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton Rouge You see the river keeps on callin' me no matter what I do Chorus Solo I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway 61 Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
