Don't Leave Me Here - Taj Mahal/Keb' Mo'

Written by：Kevin R. Moore/Taj Mahal/Gary Nicholson

How da' weather in the country

How da' weather down south

How da' weather in the Delta

How the food taste in yo' mouth

Butter beans and cornbread

Grits and greens

Candied yams and black eyed peas

If you're going to Mississippi

Where that delta sky is sweet and clear

Oh y'all I'm stuck here in Chicago

Please don't leave me here

When you see Ludella

Tell her hey for me

Last time I saw her

It was in my dream

She's the sweetest thing

Under the sun

When I think about some lovin'

She's still the one

Now if you're going to Mississippi

Where that delta sky is sweet and clear

When I'm stuck here in Chicago

Please don't leave me here

What they doin' in Vicksburg

Down in Aberdeen

They got more fine big legged women

Any one man ever seen

What they doin' in Jackson

And little old itta bean

I ain't been to Clarksdale

Since nineteen sixty three

'Cause if you're going to Mississippi

Where that delta sky is sweet and clear

Y'all I'm stuck here in Chicago

Please don't leave me here

How da' weather in the Delta

Sure cold up here

Baby run off and left me

Late last year

It was just before Christmas

Deep deep snow on the ground

Came home later old in the evening

She done tore my playhouse down

So if you're going to Mississippi

Where that delta sky is sweet and clear

Oh y'all I'm stuck here in Chicago

Please don't leave me here

Please don't leave

Please don't leave me here

Please don't leave

Please don't leave me here

Oh help me

Please don't leave me here

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me here

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me here

Please don't leave
