down on the delta where there is shelter no helter skelter no blues around that s why i m homing i m tired of roaming i m delta bound when night is falling my delta s calling and keep on calling i m going down i m on my way now most any day now i m delta bound every time i close my eyes i seem to see louisiana i can hear the folks down there singing in their free and easy manner i ve been a rover but 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
