I'm goin' back to the delta, that's where I belong

If old bad luck and trouble don't keep me for too long

I'd rather be down in the delta than any place I know

Because I don't feel happy no other place I go

My little woman in the delta sure was good to me

Why, she was just as kind-hearted as one poor gal could be

I'm goin' back to the delta, fall down on my knees, gonna ask my delta woman, to forgive me if she please

I'm goin' back to the delta, woo, goin' to fall down on my knees

I'm gonna ask my delta woman to forgive me, if she please

I've tested all of my women,from here to Mexico, but my woman in the delta,she's the sweetest gal I know

I've tested all my women, woo, from here to Mexico

But my little woman in the delta, she's the sweetest gal I know
