Darkness on the Delta
J. Levinson
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 levee, Listenin` to the nightingales way up above,
Laughter on the levee, no one`s heart is heavy,
All God`s children 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.
