Lyrics - Darkness On The Delta by Clwyd Clippers

When it's darkness on the
Delta,
That's the time my heart is light.
When it's darkness on the
Delta
Let me linger in the shadow of the night.
Fields of cotton all around me,
Darkies singin' sweet and low. **
Lord,
I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy
Mississippi waters flow.
Lounging on the levee, list'nin' to the nightingales
Way up above.
Laughter on the levee; no one's heart is heavy;
All
God's chillun's got someone to love.
When it's darkness on the
Delta,
Only
Heaven is in sight.
When it's darkness on the
Delta,
Let me linger in the shadow of the night.** usually sung "
Folks are singin' sweet and low."--words, music and arrangement:
