《Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town》歌词

[00:00:00] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:00:05] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:00:09] Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

[00:00:13] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:00:21] Down in the Delta where I was born

[00:00:24] All we raised was cotton potatoes and corn

[00:00:28] I've picked cotton till my fingers hurt

[00:00:31] Draggin' the sack through that Delta dirt

[00:00:39] And I've worked hard the whole week long

[00:00:42] Pickin' my fingers to the blood and bone

[00:00:47] There ain't a lot of money in a cotton bale

[00:00:51] At least when you try to sell

[00:00:53] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:00:58] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:01:02] Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

[00:01:06] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:01:13] On Saturday nights we'd get dressed up

[00:01:16] Catch us a ride on a pickup truck

[00:01:20] On a gravel road it nearly strangled us

[00:01:24] That cotton pickin' Delta dust

[00:01:28] We'd sit across the street on the depot porch

[00:01:32] Lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us

[00:01:36] Munchin' on a dust covered ice cream cone

[00:01:40] Wondering how we'd get back home

[00:01:43] From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:01:48] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:01:52] Nothin' much to do but just hang around

[00:01:55] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:02:00] From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[00:02:04] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:02:08] Nothin' much to do but just hang around

[00:02:12] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
