00:23That river taught me patience
00:30She took my troubles downstream
00:32Brought them round again
00:34My mama sang on Sundays
00:37Daddy worked the land
00:40Now I'm picking that redemption
00:43With callous heart and hand
00:46Cypress roots and river mud
00:49They're running through my veins
00:52Where the gospel meets the delta
00:54And storms forget my name
00:57I ain't rich, I ain't refined
01:00Just doing what I should
01:02Keeping faith where I'm planted
01:05In Cypress roots and river mud
01:20Oh, guitar's got stories
01:22And every one I fret
01:25I hear the ghosts of kinfolk
01:28And the notes I ain't played yet
01:30The porch light hums electric
01:33The bullfrogs start their choir
01:35And the night wind sings forgiveness
01:38Through this Mississippi mile
01:42Cypress roots and river mud
01:44They're running through my veins
01:47Where the gospel meets the delta
01:50And storms forget my name
01:52I ain't rich, I ain't refined
01:55Just doing what I should
01:58Keeping faith where I'm planted
02:00In Cypress roots and river mud
02:13When I'm planted in Cypress roots and river mud
02:16And the forest within the flow
02:16And the weather hums
02:16Where I'm planted
02:17I mean
02:20That a lot of people
02:20When I'm planted
02:20I ain't foot
02:20I ain't really
02:20I ain't finished
02:21I ain't
02:22I ain't
02:22I ain't
02:24I ain't
02:45Let the banjo preach the sermon
02:48Let the fiddle shed a tear
02:51Let the mandolin remind me
02:54That the good Lord is still near
02:56And if the river ever calls me
02:59To drift where he's understood
03:01I'll be smiling through the silt
03:04Of Cypress roots and river mud
03:08Cypress roots and river mud
03:10They're running through my veins
03:13Where the gospel meets the delta
03:16And the storms forget my name
03:18I ain't rich, I ain't refined
03:21Just doing what I should
03:23Keeping faith where I'm planted
03:26In Cypress roots and river mud
