[Chorus]

Down on the Delta

Where there's no shelter

No helter skelter

No blues around

I'm tired of roaming

That's why I'm homing

I'm Delta bound

[Chorus]

When night time's falling

My delta's calling

Keep on calling

I'll soon be around

I'm on my way now

Most any day now

I'm Delta bound

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I close my eyes

I seem to see Louisiana

I can hear them folks down there

Singing in their free and easy manner

[Chorus]

I've been a rover

Now that's all over

Knee deep in clover

Is where I'll be found

I'm on my way now

Most any day now

I'm Delta bound

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I close my eyes

I seem to see Louisiana

I can hear them folks down there

Singing in their strange and peculiar manner

[Chorus]

I've been a rover

Now that's all over

Knee deep in clover

Is where I'll be found

I'm on my way now

Most any day now

I'm Delta bound
