Song lyrics: Mississippi Delta by Max Creek
Way down on the Mississippi delta
Where the living is all in style
Where the nights are easy and the days are long
You can see a country mile
You can see a country mile
I had a funny feeling way down inside
That where I should have been was gone
I set out early on a Sunday
Just to find out where my soul had gone
I wandered all over this country
From Atlantic to Pacific shore
When I came to the Mississippi delta
I knew I wouldn’t search no more
Way down on the Mississippi delta
Where the living is all in style
Where the nights are easy and the days are long
You can see a country mile
You can see a country mile
They have honey bees and Magnolia trees
And a pretty little Southern Belle.
I met some ladies in Atlanta
But I didn’t like ‘em near as well
Well, I spent a lot of time up in old New England
But I thought I better go down south
So I traveled on down to New Orleans
Down by the Mississippi’s mouth
Way down on the Mississippi delta
Where the living is all in style
Where the nights are easy and the days are long
You can see a country mile
You can see a country mile
