The Boswell Sisters - Down On The Delta Lyrics

Lyrics Down On The Delta - The Boswell Sisters




Wanna be down on the delta
Soon I know that I'll find shelta
Where a stardust covers
Hovers over me
Wanna be down on that bayou
Just to see the friends that I knew
Oh Mississippi would you listen to me
Lord hear my plea oh
Muddy waters used to be my playground when I was a tiny tot
In the bottom how I used to play round
Lordy what a spankin' I got
Let me live down on the delta
I don't care how much I swelta
I wanna be down on the delta
Delta shelta me
Muddy waters used to be my playground when I was a tiny tot
In the bottom how I used to play round
Lordy what a spankin' I got
Well let me live on the delta troubles away from my door X2
I'm getting tired of living away from home delta shelter me
Wanna be down on that delta sooner loaded up on shelter
Where the stars cover me
Wanna be down on that boaou where all the
Friends that I once knew lordy, lordy listen to me
Oh Mississippi won't you hear my plea
Ahhh
Muddy waters hear me call
Muddy waters hear me call
Muddy waters I'll be comin soon
Muddy waters no more roamin
Muddy waters I'll be home
Muddy waters I'll be comin soon
Muddy waters delta shelta me
Ahhh
