Leon Redbone - Mississippi Delta Blues lyrics
rate meWith 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
