Darkness On The Delta |
| 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 |
| Lounging on the levee |
| Listenin' to the nightingales way up above |
| There’s 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 |
