Bobbie Gentry – Mississippi Delta

Bobbie Gentry – Mississippi Delta Lyrics

Artist: Bobbie Gentry
Song: Mississippi Delta

M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
Right in the middle of the Cotton Belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta

Wearin’ last year’s possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
Have me a little that Johnny cake
And a bit o’ that apple pandowdy

Pickin’ them scuppernongs off that vine
Chigger bite, it’s goin’ to beat howdy
Ate me a bucket of muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark

And drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark
One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
M, I, double S, I, double S, I, double P, I
Right in the middle of the Cotton Belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta

Wearin’ last year’s possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
Sittin’ ‘n’ scratchin’ mosquito bites
Old fox, I done give him the slip

Watchin’ the mornin’ glories grow
In Biloxi on an overnight trip
I bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday

Ain’t no use in a-hurryin’ up
Can’t leave ’til a week from Monday
One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

In the Mississippi Delta
Mis-sis-sis-sis-sis-sip-pi Delta
Yeah
In the Mississippi Delta
