Goin down to the delta
Where I can have my fun
Goin down to the delta
Where I can have my fun
Where I can drink my white lightnin, gamble
I can bring my baby home
Dont the delta look lonesome
When that evening sun go down?
Dont this delta look lonesome
When that evenin sun goes down
Well, you been lookin for your baby
Dont know where she could be found
Goin back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Goin back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Well, I think Ill have to forgive her
cause Im tired o driftin through this world alone
She treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, she treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, it just breaks my heart to hear
Lord, some other men call her name
Now goodbye, Im gon leave you
An I wont be back no more
Now goodbye, Im gon leave you
An I wont be back no mo
Man, my mind gets to ramblin
See you in nineteen and forty-fo
