Mississippi Delta Blues - Leon McAulife

With friends around

And even pals that I know are true

Still I'm lonely homesick and blue

There's no one

Who can cheer me when I'm alone

Longing for my Mississippi home

Way down on the delta

On that Mississippi shore

In that muddy water

I long to be once more

When that shadows creep about

And the whippoorwill call

You can hear old mommy shout

Come in here you all

Way down on the levee strolling

In the pale moon light

You can see those steamboats

And fields of snowy white

That's a feeling

I can't lose muddy water in my shoes

When I get those Mississippi Delta blues
