I'm goin' back to the delta That's where I belong I'm goin' back to the delta That's where I belong If old bad luck and trouble Don't keep me far to long I'd rather be down in the delta Than any place I know I'd rather be down in the delta Than any place I know Because I don't feel happy No other place I go My little woman in the delta She was good to me My little woman in the delta She was good to me Well, she was a good kind-hearted As one poor gal could be I'm goin' back to the delta Fall down on my knees Gonna ask my delta woman To forgive me if she please I'm goin' back to the delta, woo Goin' to fall down on my knees I'm gonna ask my delta woman To forgive me if she please I've tested with all-a my women From here to Mexico But my woman in the delta She's the sweetest gal I know I've tested with all-a my women, woo From here to Mexico But my little woman in the delta She's the sweetest gal I know
