Darkness On The Delta Songtext
von Eden Brent

When it′s darkness
On the Delta
Now's the time that my heart is light
When it′s darkness
On the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of your night

Fields of cotton
All around me
Voices ringing soft and low
God I'm so lucky
That you've found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

Now, I′m just lounging on the levee
Listening to the nightingale
Way up above
There′s laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy
As all God′s children got
Someone to love


When it's darkness
On the Delta
Only heaven is is sight
When it′s darkness
On the Delta
Let me linger in the shelter of your night

Now, I'm just lounging on the levee
Listening to the nightingale
Way up above
There′s laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy
As all God's children got
Someone to love

When it′s darkness
On the Delta
Only heaven is is sight
When it′s darkness
On the Delta
Let me linger in your shelter
Darkness on the Delta, tonight
