intro: in fingerpicking

When it's Dark -ness on the Del -ta, That's the time my heart is light,

When it's Dark -ness on the Del -ta, Let me ling -er in the shel -ter of the night.

Fields of Cot -ton all a -round me, Dark -ies sing -in sweet and low,

Lord I'm Luck -y that you found me, Where the Mud -dy Mis -sis -sip -pi wat -ers flow.

(and when I’m)Loung -ing on the lev -ee, List -'nin' to the Night in -gales 'way up a -bove.

Laugh -ter on the lev -ee, No one's heart is heav -y, All God's chil -dren got some -one to love.

When it's Dark -ness on the Del -ta, On -ly Heav -en is in sight,

When It's Dark -ness on the Del -ta, Let me ling -er in the shel -ter of the night.

ASSOLO
