Sweet Delta Chains

"SWEET DELTA CHAINS"

Hungry for that catfish fry
Thirsty for thunderbird wine
Ooh my soul is a slave
To those delta chains

Muddy water runs like blood through my veins
Mississippi like a soul movin' train
She keeps callin' me home and i'm bound by those sweet delta chains
Sweet delta chains

Pining for that blood red sun
Lonesome for my only one
Ooh my soul is a slave
To those delta chains

Fields of cotton reachin' clear to the sky
Moonlight shinin' in those dark southern eyes
Sweat on my brow like the tears of that july rain
Oh, those sweet delta chains

A bottleneck slides on that wounded guitar
I sing the blues to a sky full of stars
A hound dog is howling and the wind bends that sugar cane
Sweet delta chains

Muddy water runs like blood through my veins
Mississippi like a soul movin' train
She keeps callin' me home and i'm bound by those sweet delta chains
Sweet delta chains
