Sing the Delta歌词

So you're headed down a
Southern way,passing thru the
Delta some time today?
In my mind, pictures line the wallsof a place
I used to know, and vividly recall
I love you so much, and you sure sing goodit would mean so much to me, if you would
Sing the Delta a love song for me!
It's the land where the cotton used to growthat owns a piece of my heart and soul.
It's where my people, on both sides, going backeked-out a liven' farmin' and fillin' cotton sacks.
Dad took us
West when
I was a little child.
But it's in my blood, flowing strong and wild.
Sing the Delta a love song for me!
Sing the Delta a love song for me!
Lay it down on that river, let it roll on out to the sea!
The Delta lived in my
Momma's voice and in her handsit's a language my spirit understands, so
Sing the Delta a love song for me?
You give it all just the way your
Daddy does,you both got your demons, but they're cloaked in love.
And I know that life's puttin' your callin' to the test,
But you've got somethin' that sets you right up 'long side the very best.
So take that heart, good as
Heaven ever made,and that voice that lays like
August in the shade,and sing the
Delta a love song for me!
Sing the Delta a love song for me!
Let it rock that old cradle and roll on out to the sea.
I've been
West, I've been
East and North,from that sweetness
I just can't ever divorce,
Sing the Delta a love song for me.
