So you're headed down a |
|
Southern way,passing thru the |
|
Delta some time today? |
|
In my mind, pictures line the wallsof a place |
|
I used to know, and vividly recall |
|
I love you so much, and you sure sing goodit would mean so much to me, if you would |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me! |
|
It's the land where the cotton used to growthat owns a piece of my heart and soul. |
|
It's where my people, on both sides, going backeked-out a liven' farmin' and fillin' cotton sacks. |
|
Dad took us |
|
West when |
|
I was a little child. |
|
But it's in my blood, flowing strong and wild. |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me! |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me! |
|
Lay it down on that river, let it roll on out to the sea! |
|
The Delta lived in my |
|
Momma's voice and in her handsit's a language my spirit understands, so |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me? |
|
You give it all just the way your |
|
Daddy does,you both got your demons, but they're cloaked in love. |
|
And I know that life's puttin' your callin' to the test, |
|
But you've got somethin' that sets you right up 'long side the very best. |
|
So take that heart, good as |
|
Heaven ever made,and that voice that lays like |
|
August in the shade,and sing the |
|
Delta a love song for me! |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me! |
|
Let it rock that old cradle and roll on out to the sea. |
|
I've been |
|
West, I've been |
|
East and North,from that sweetness |
|
I just can't ever divorce, |
|
Sing the Delta a love song for me. |
