(When It's) Darkness on the Delta
Nighttime and shadows are coming my way
Southland is at rest
Nightime and shadows relieving the day
Nature's at its best
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
Folks are singin' sweet and low (and low)
Lord I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
Oh lounging on the levee
List'nin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's chillun' got someone to love
When it's darkness on the Delta
Only heaven is inside
When it's darkness on the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Now we were Lounging on the levee
And a listen to the nightgales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's chillun' got someone to love
When it's darkness on the Delta
Only heaven is inside
When it's darkness on the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Southland is at rest
Nightime and shadows relieving the day
Nature's at its best
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
Folks are singin' sweet and low (and low)
Lord I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
Oh lounging on the levee
List'nin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's chillun' got someone to love
When it's darkness on the Delta
Only heaven is inside
When it's darkness on the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Now we were Lounging on the levee
And a listen to the nightgales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's chillun' got someone to love
When it's darkness on the Delta
Only heaven is inside
When it's darkness on the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
