Sing The Delta

(专辑： Sing The Delta - 2012)

So you're heading down a southern way
Passing through the delta some time today
In my mind pictures line the walls
Of a place I used to know and vividly recall
I love you so much and you sure sing good
It would mean so much to me if you would
Sing the Delta a love song for me

It's the land where the cotton used to grow
That owns a piece of my heart and soul
It's where my people on both sides going back
Eked out a living farming and filling cotton sacks
Dad took us west when I was a little child
But it's in my blood, flowing strong and wild
Sing the Delta a love song for me

Sing the Delta a love song for me
Lay it down on that river, Let it roll on out to sea
The Delta lived in my mama's voice and in her hands
It's a language my spirit understands
Sing the Delta a love song for me

You give it all just the way your daddy does
You both got your demons but they're cloaked in love
And I know that life's putting your calling to the test
But you've got something that sets you right up 'long side the very best
So take that heart good as heaven every made
And that voice that lays like August in the shade
And sing the Delta a love song for me

Sing the Delta a love song for me
Let it rock that old cradle and roll on out to sea
I've been east, I've been west and north
From that sweetness I just can't ever divorce
Sing the Delta a love song for me
