Mississippi Delta

(album: Good Times - 1974)

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,
Wearing last year possum belt,
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta.

I have me a little that Johnny cake,
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy,
Picking them scuppernon's drop that down,
Chigger bite of corn to beat howdy.

Do him in with a scaly bark,
One-ree-yo-ree,
Anne-nick-and-john-feel-bay,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do him in with a scaly bark,
One-ree-yo-ree,
Anne-nick-and-john-feel-bay,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

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,
Wearing last year possum belt,
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta.

I have me a little that Johnny cake,
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy,
Picking them scuppernon's drop that down,
Chigger bite of corn to beat howdy.

Do him in with a scaly bark,
One-ree-yo-ree,
Anne-nick-and-john-feel-bay.
