[Gm]
[C] [Gm]
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 [Bb] and cornbread, reds and [C] greens, [Gm] candy ales and black eyed peas.
[C] If you're going to Mississippi, [Gm] [C] where that delta sky [Gm] is sweet and clear.
Oh y'all [D] I'm stuck here in Chicago, please don't leave me [Gm] here.
When you see Ludella, tell her hey from me.
Last time I saw her, it was in my dreams.
She's the sweetest thing under the [C] sun.
[Gm] When I think about some love, [Bb] she's still around.
[Gm] [C] Now if you're going to [Gm] Mississippi, where that delta sky is sweet and clear.
When I'm [D] stuck here in Chicago, please [Bb] don't leave me here.
[Gm] What they doing in Vicksburg, down in Aberdeen?
They got more fine big leg women than them one man emps.
What they doing in Jackson and Little O' Eater Bean?
I ain't been to Cork since 1963, cause if you're going to Mississippi,
where that delta sky is sweet and clear.
[D] Y'all I'm stuck here in Chicago, please don't [Bb] leave me here.
[Gm]
[C] [Gm]
[C] When I'm stuck [Gm] [C]
[Gm] here [D] in Jackson and
[Bb] Little O' Eater Bean.
[Gm] Hotter weather in the delta, sure cold up here.
[F] [Bb] Baby run off and left me late [C] last year.
It was [Gm] just four crib months, deep deep snow on the ground.
[F] [Bb] Came home late over [Gm] in the evening, she done tore my playhouse down.
So if you're going to Mississippi, [C]
[Gm] where that delta sky is sweet and clear.
Oh y [D]'all I'm stuck here in Chicago, please don't leave [Gm] me here.
Don't [G] [Gm] leave, please don't leave me here.
Mmm please don't leave, please don't leave me here.
Oh help me, please don't leave me here, please don't leave me here.
Please don't leave, please don't leave me here.
Please don't leave.
