Delta slide done been here and gone Say, the Delta slide, baby, done been here and gone Take me out the Delta, baby, 'fore the water rise Take me outta the Delta, 'fore the water rise And if I don't get drownded, baby, gonna sure, Lord, lose my mind Cryin', Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, I wonder what is I'm goin' do Well I can't do nothin' but hang my head and cry Baby, when I leave I ain't comin' here no more When I leave here, comin' here no more Lord, I'm goin' away, baby, worry you off my mind Cryin', Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, I wonder, wonder to myself Cryin', good Lord, I wonder and I wonder to myself
