Mississippi Delta - Live

M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I

Right in the middle of the Cotton Belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last year's possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Have me a little that Johnny cake
A bit o' that apple pandowdy
Pickin' them scuppernongs off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

Ate me a bucket of muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
And drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann

M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I

Right in the middle of the Cotton Belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last year's possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Sittin' an' scratchin' mosquito bites
Old fox done give him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow
In Biloxi on an overnight trip

I bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in a-hurryin' up
Can't leave 'til a week from Monday

One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

In the Mississippi Delta
Mis-sis-sis-sis-sis-sip-pi Delta
Yeah
In the Mississippi Delta
