Devil's In The Delta

I planted my seed to the property line, those big black clouds were a welcome sign

I could still hear the sound of that howlin' wind, if the rain don't come is it nature's sin?

Lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta, lordy lord, the devil's in the Delta

Now you can't grow cotton with no steady rain, can you fell my hunger, can you feel my pain?

Well I work so hard for so little pay, no I pray for mercy on judgement day,

Lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta, lordy lord, the devil's in the Delta

Now I hear a voice from the other side, if it's not the Devil it's the Devil's Bride.

Aint got time for my natural rest when my life's on the line and I'm put to the test

Lordy lord, the devil's in the Delta, lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta

Now I'm waiting in line for my daily bread, can you feel the pain can you feel the dread?

I could lose my home and my job and my land this could not be the work of a mortal man.

Lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta, lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta

Lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta, lordy lord, the Devil's in the Delta
