Song: Mississippi Heavy Water Blues
Artist: Doc Watson
Album: Pickin' The Blues (1985)
Transcribed By: Steve Sladkowski (iamthewalrus89@hotmail.com)
 
Here's another one from Doc & Merle Watson's great album Pickin' The
Blues. It's in A, and for the most part follows a simple I-IV-I-V-I blues
pattern.
 
Standard Tuning
 
Chords Used:
 
A5:  (x022xx)
D7:  (xx0212)
E7:  (020130)
A7:  (x02223)
A7*: (x02020)
 
Other Notation:
 
h: hammer-on
/: slide up
~: let ring

Intro/Verse Shuffle:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|--2-2---2--2-2---2-----|
D|--2-2h4-2--2-2h4-2-----|
A|--0-0---0--0-0---0-----|
E|-----------------------|
play this twice for the intro, and throughout the verse whenever there is
an A chord
 
Verse:
A5 (w/shuffle)
Walkin' down the levy
                        D7
With my head hangin' low
A5
Lookin' for my sweet mama, Lord
    E7                    A
But she ain't here no more
A5
I'm in Mississippi,
                           D7
There's mud all in my shoes,
A5
Folks in Lou'siana,
         E7              A
Got them high water blues
 
 
Chorus:
Let A Ring---> D7     
That's why I'm cryin',
                A5   A7
Can't keep from cryin',
D7        E7               A5    Riff
Miss'ippi heavy water blues
 
the riff is:
e|--2-0-0h2/5--|
B|-------------|
on the recording it's played on a slide guitar, so you can mimic it the
octave lower as:
e|------------------------|
B|------------------------|
G|--2--2---2~~~~2---2-----|
D|--2--2h4-2~~~~2h4-2-----|
A|--0--0---0~~~~0---0-----|
E|------------------------|
 
The song goes back into:
 
Verse
Chorus
and into the Bridge:
D7   A
Mama,
D7   A7*
Mama,
D7         E7     A   riff 
Your daddy misses you
 
Listen to the recording to get the song structure, but it's pretty
straightforward.
Enjoy, and if anyone has any Doc requests, I'll try my best to post them.
