Delta Muddy Cry

down in the delta where the cotton fields weep rivers run flooded with secrets they keep born from the chains of a hard-loving land african souls with a fire in hand expressive cries against the midnight sky hardships whisper but they won't comply oh blues you're all in soulful cry 12 bars bending like a lonesome sigh blue notes wailing through the resilient night from the deep south heart you set the wrong light personal pain in every gritty line emotions rising like the mississippi shine harmonica howling against the guitar's deep moan vocals crack open leaving nothing unknown late 19 shadows where the work songs grew into a genre that pulls you clean through resilience echoing and coming no electric polish just the honest response oh blues you're all in soulful cry 12 bars bending like a lonesome sigh blue notes wailing through the resilient night from the deep south heart you set the wrong right personal pain in every gritty line emotions rising like the mississippi shine from delta dust to chicago lights you carry the weight of forgotten fights intimate whispers in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in your bass drum beat american roots running wild and sweet sadness lingers but the spirit holds strong the intimate whispers in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me no surrender in a melancholy key guitar strings weeping for you and for me
