When It's Darkness On The Delta

Oh when it’s darkness
On the Delta
That’s the time my heart is light
Oh when it’s darkness
On the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Fields of cotton
All around me
Voices sing, soft and low
Oh well you’re lucky
That you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
Lounging on the levee
Listening to the nightengale
way all above
Oh here that laughter on the levee
No one’s heart is heavy
When it’s darkness
On the Delta
Only heaven is in sight
Oh when it’s darkness
On the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Oh let me linger in the shelter of the night
Let me linger in the shelter of the night…
