Mississippi Delta Blues

With friends around and even pals I know are true
 Still I'm lonely, homesick and blue
 There's no one who can cheer me when I'm all alone
 Longing for my Mississippi home
 Way down in the delta on the Mississippi shore
 In that muddy water, I long to be once more
 Midnight shadows creep about and the whippoorwills call
 You can hear old mammy shout, "Come in here, you all"
 Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light
 You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
 That's a feeling I can't lose, the muddy water in my shoes
 When I get that Mississippi Delta blues
