Bobbie Gentry Mississippi Delta Lyrics

Mississippi Delta Lyrics

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 years possum belt



Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta







Have me a little that Johnny cake



A little bit of that apple pan dowdy



Pickin them scuppernon's off that vine



Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy







Ate me a bucket of Muscadine



Sit on the riverbank after dark



Drop my line down a crawdad hole



Do him in with a scaly bark







One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni



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 years possum belt



Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta







Sittin and scratchin' mosquito bites



Old fox 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 hurrying up



Can't leave till a week from Monday







One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni



Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan







In the Mississippi Delta



Miss-iss-siss-ippi Delta
