I'm on the delta
That's why they shelter
No helter-skelter
No blues around
I'm tired of roaming
That's why I'm honing
I'm delta bound

When night is falling
My love is calling
And keeps a-calling
I'm going down
I'm in a hurry
My hearts a flurry
I'm delta bound

Every time I close my eyes
I seem to see louisiana
I can hear those doggies in
In that free and easy manner
I've been a rover
Now that's over
Knee deep in clover
I'll soon be found
I'm on my way now
Most any day now
I'm delta bound
