Hall & Oates

Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep slong
'Cause I've got them deep river blues

My old gal, she's a good old pal, she looks like a water fowl
When I got them deep river blues
Ain't no one gonna cry for me and the fish all go out on a spree
When I get them deep river blues

So let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep slong
'Cause I've got them deep river blues

Give me back my old boat, you know I'm gonna sail if she'll float
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals, times are better there I'm told
'Cause I've got them deep river blues

Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep slong
'Cause I've got them deep river blues

(Yodel, yodel)
I've got them deep river blues, I've got them deep river blues

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
