Paragraph Lyric
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 shelter 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
Listenin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy

All God's children 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 shelter of the night
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 shelter 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   Listenin' to the nightingales way up above   Laughter on the levee   No one's heart is heavy      All God's children 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 shelter of the night
