Mississippi Delta Lyrics


M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P IRight in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi DeltaHave me a little that Johnny cake
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy
Pickin them scuppernon's off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdyAte me a bucket of Muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly barkOne-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quanM I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P IRight in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi DeltaSittin and scratchin' mosquito bites
Old fox done give him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow

In Biloxi on an overnight tripI bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in'a hurrying up
Can't leave till a week from MondayOne-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quanIn the Mississippi Delta
Miss-iss-siss-ippi Delta
