[chorus]
m, i, double s, i, double s, i, double p, i
m, i, double s, i, double s, i, double p, i
right in the middle of the cotton belt
down in the mississippi delta
wearin’ last year’s possum belt
smack dab in the mississippi delta

[verse 1]
have me a little that johnny cake
and a bit o’ that apple pandowdy
pickin’ them scuppernongs off that vine
chigger bite, it’s goin’ to beat howdy
[verse 2]
i ate me a bucket of muscadine
sit on the riverbank after dark
and drop my line down a crawdad hole
do him in with a scaly bark

[refrain]
one+ree+o+ree+ee+ree+ann
fidderliss+farce+nickory+john+queery+quan

[chorus]
m, i, double s, i, double s, i, double p, i
m, i, double s, i, double s, i, double p, i
right in the middle of the cotton belt
down in the mississippi delta
wearin’ last year’s possum belt
smack dab in the mississippi delta

[verse 3]
sittin’ ‘n’ scratchin’ mosquito bites
old fox, i done give him the slip
watchin’ those mornin’ glories grow
in biloxi on an overnight trip

[verse 4]
i bet five dollars to win two bits
eat a peppermint stick on sunday
ain’t no use in a+hurryin’ up
can’t leave ’til a week from monday
[refrain]
one+ree+o+ree+ee+ree+ann
fidderliss+farce+nickory+john+queery+quan

[outro]
in the mississippi delta
mis+sis+sis+sis+sis+sip+pi delta
yeah
in the mississippi delta
