Darkness On The Delta
When it's darkness on the Delta,
That's the time my heart is light.
When it's darkness on the Delta
Let me linger in the shadow of the night.
Fields of cotton all around me,
Darkies singin' sweet and low. **
Lord, I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow.
Lounging on the levee, list'nin' to the nightingales
Way up above.
Laughter on the levee; no one's heart is heavy;
All God's chillun's got someone to love.

When it's darkness on the Delta,
Only Heaven is in sight.
When it's darkness on the Delta,
Let me linger in the shadow of the night.
** usually sung 'Folks are singin' sweet and low.'
