Текст песни: Mississippi Delta Blues + перевод

With friends around and even pals that I know are true

Still I’m lonely, homesick and blue

There’s no one who can cheer me when I’m alone

Longing for my Mississippi home

Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore

In that muddy water, I long to be once more

When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill call

You can hear old mammy shout, «Come in here, you all»

Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light

You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white

That’s a feeling I can’t lose that muddy water in my shoes

When I get that Mississippi Delta blues

I long to hear them talk and sing those old melodies

Swanee River and Ol' Black Joe

That sweet magnolia perfume floating on the breeze

Way down south is where I long to go

Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore

In that muddy water, I long to be once more

When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill call

You can hear old mammy shout, «Come in here, you all»

Way down on the levee, strolling in the pale moon light

You can see those steamboats and the fields of snowy white

That’s a feeling I can’t lose that muddy water in my shoes

When I get that Mississippi Delta blues
