Darkness on the Delta Songtext
von The Chordettes

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
Darkies singin' sweet and low
Lord i'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
Lounging on the leeve
List′nin′ to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the leeve
No one's heart is heavy
All God′s chillun 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 leeve
List'nin′ to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the leeve, 'cause no one's heart is heavy
All God′s chillun 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
