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

Shocking Blue were a Dutch rock band from The Hague that existed from 1967 to 1974. They had a hit world-wide with the song "Venus," which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1970. The song was immediately covered at the year of its release by Greek pop band Olympians, with entirely different lyrics in Greek and retitled as "Το Κορίτσι Του Μάη" (To koritsi tou Mai - The girl of May). It was later part of the Stars on 45 Medley (which put it at #1 in 1981), and covered by British girl band Bananarama in the 1980s (1986) and Japanese singer Yoko Nagayama (also in 1986).
