Teresa Brewer - Music, Music, Music (Expanded Edition)

(When It's) Darkness On The Delta

When it's darkness on the delta
That's the time my heart is light
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night

Fields of cotton all around me
People singin' sweet and low
But I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

Lounging on the levee
Listenin' to the nightingales' way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy
All God's children got someone to love

When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger, in the shelter of the night

Lounging on the levee
Listenin' to the nightingales' way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy
All God's children got someone to love

It's old, so darling
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter, of the darkness

On the delta
Darkness on the delta
