charley pride – mississippi cotton pickin’ delta lyrics
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
one dusty street to walk up and down
nothing much to see but a starvin’ hound
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
down in the delta where i was born
all we raised was cotton, potatoes and corn
i’ve picked cotton ’til my fingers hurt
draggin’ a sack through that delta dirt
and i’ve worked hard the whole week long
pickin’ my fingers to the blood and bone
there ain’t a lot of money in a cotton bale
at least when you try to sell
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
one dusty street to walk up and down
nothing much to see but a starvin’ hound
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
on sat-rday night, we’d get dressed up
catch us a ride on a pickup truck
on a gravel road it nearly strangled us
that cotton pickin’ delta dust
we’d sit across the street on the depot porch
lookin’ at the folks lookin’ back at us
munchin’ on a dust covered ice cream cone
wondering how we’d get back home
from a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
one dusty street to walk up and down
nothing much to do but just hang around
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
from a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
one dusty street to walk up and down
nothing much to do but just hang around
in a mississippi cotton pickin’ delta town
