| Oh when it’s darkness
|
| On the Delta
|
| That’s the time my heart is light
|
| Oh when it’s darkness
|
| On the Delta
|
| Let me linger in the shelter of the night
|
| Fields of cotton
|
| All around me
|
| Voices sing, soft and low
|
| Oh well you’re lucky
|
| That you found me
|
| Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
|
| Lounging on the levee
|
| Listening to the nightengale
|
| way all above
|
| Oh here that laughter on the levee
|
| No one’s heart is heavy
|
| When it’s darkness
|
| On the Delta
|
| Only heaven is in sight
|
| Oh when it’s darkness
|
| On the Delta
|
| Let me linger in the shelter of the night
|
| Oh let me linger in the shelter of the night
|
| Let me linger in the shelter of the night… |
