When it's darkness on the delta that's the time my heart is light,
|
When it's darkness on the delta let me linger in the shelter of the night;
|
Fields of cotton all around me, darkies singin' sweet and low, Lord I'm
|
lucky that you found me Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow.
|
|
Lounging on the levee, Listenin' to the nightingales way up above,
|
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy,
|
All God's children got someone to love.
|
|
When it's darkness on the delta, Only heaven is in sight,
|
When it's darkness on the delta, let me linger in the shelter of the
|
night.
