Leon Redbone

Leon Redbone - Mississippi Delta Blues lyrics

rate me

With friends around and even pals I know are true<br />

Still I'm lonely, homesick and blue<br />

There's no one who can cheer me when I'm all alone<br />

Longing for my Mississippi home<br />

<br />

Way down in the delta on the Mississippi shore<br />

In that muddy water, I long to be once more<br />

Midnight shadows creep about and the whippoorwills call<br />

You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"<br />

<br />

Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light<br />

You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white<br />

That's a feeling I can't lose, the muddy water in my shoes<br />

When I get that Mississippi Delta blues
