Mississippi Delta Blues

I’m a Mississippi delta man,

living in a 12-bar refrain.

I’m a Mississippi delta man,

living in a 12-bar refrain.

I’m a Mississippi delta man,

soul’s been a washed out by the rain.

Gone an’ left my woman,
you know it don’t phase me none.

Gone an’ left my woman,

you know that don’t phase me none.

Gone an’ left my woman,

with this here tommy gun.

You know I shot my woman down,

ain’t got no blood on my hands,

You know I shot my woman down,

ain’t got no blood on my hands,

Cause I shot my woman down,

I’m a Mississippi Delta man.
