Tonart: D major
Verse 1
D
A
I jumped
D
A
in the stream of life
A
the day that I was born,
I thought I'd float around
D
until old Gabriel blew his horn.
But I grew tired and stopped to rest,
G
and much to my surprise,
E
I started drifting downstream,
Downstream,
D
I'm drifting downstream
A
Although I know it's wrong,
D
the current is so strong
A
D
Downstream, just drifting downstream
A
And the muddy waters carry me
D
A
along
D
A
D
A
G
D
A
D
I haven't got the strength to
A
fight the rapids anymore
It takes a lot of splashin' round
D
A
D
to reach the other shore
I stayed so good for just so long
in this old world of sin
G
E
Then I started drifting downstream,
A
and I can't swim back again.
Downstream,
D
I'm drifting downstream.
A
Although I know it's wrong,
D
the current is so strong.
A
D
Downstream, just drifting downstream.
A
D
And the muddy waters carry me along.
Hey, I like that tune, buddy.
Well, thanks a lot, Red.
It's my stream, I'll tell you.
You know,
I've been talking to you
A
and kind of kidding about wanting
to plug records and everything,
but I'd like to get serious just
for a minute.
It's been wonderful appearing on your shows here,
and everybody's been so nice,
you know.
We'd like to invite you
to come up and visit us sometime.
Well, Red, I guess you're
up there with Pee Wee
on that stuff they call television,
aren't you? Yes, ma 'am.
Yeah, that's right.
I started to say, yes, ma 'am.
I must have thought I was home.
You you get in such a habit
of saying yes ma 'am around the house.
You know what I mean,
don't you? Yeah. what you mean.
