Mississippi Blues

Going down to the delta
Where I can have my fun
Going down to the delta
Where I can have my fun
Where I can drink my white lightning, gamble
I can bring my baby home

Don't the delta look lonesome
When that evening sun go down?
Don't this delta look lonesome
When that evening sun goes down
Well, you been looking for your baby
Don't know where she could be found

Going back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Going back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Well, I think I'll have to forgive her
'cause I'm tired o' drifting through this world alone

She treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, she treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, it just breaks my heart to hear
Lord, some other men call her name

Now goodbye, I'm gon' leave you
An' I won't be back no more

Now goodbye, I'm gon' leave you
An' I won't be back no mo'
Man, my mind gets to rambling
See you in nineteen and forty-fo'
