Don't Leave Me Here

How the weather in the country? How the weather down south? How the weather in the Delta? How the food taste in your mouth? Butter beans and cornbread, grits and greens Candied yams and black eyed peas If you're going to Mississippi Where that Delta sky is sweet and clear Ooh y'all, I'm stuck here in Chicago Please don't leave me here When you see Ludella, tell her hey for me Last time I saw hеr, it was in my dreams She's the sweetеst thing under the sun When I think about some loving, she's still the one Now if you're going to Mississippi Where that Delta sky is sweet and clear Well you know, I'm stuck here in Chicago Please don't leave me here What they doing in Vicksburg down in Aberdeen? They got more fine big-legged women Than any one man ever seen What they doing in Jackson and little old Itta Bena? I ain't been to Clarksdale since 1963 Because if you're going to Mississippi Where that Delta sky is sweet and clear Y'all, I'm stuck here in Chicago Please don't leave me here How the weather in the Delta? Sure cold up here Baby run off and left me late last year It was just before Christmas Deep, deep snow on the ground Came home later in the evening She done tore my playhouse down So if you're going to Mississippi Where that Delta sky is sweet and clear Ooh y'all, I'm stuck here in Chicago Please don't leave me here Don't leave Please don't leave me here, mmm Please don't leave, ooh Please don't leave me here Ooh, well I'll be Please don't leave me here Please don't leave me Please don't leave me here Please don't leave me Please don't leave me here Please don't leave
