Bobbie Gentry - Mississippi Delta lyrics

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 years possum belt Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta Have me a little that Johnny cake A little bit of that apple pan dowdy Pickin them scuppernon's off that vine Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy Ate me a bucket of Muscadine Sit on the riverbank after dark Drop my line down a crawdad hole Do him in with a scaly bark One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan 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 years possum belt Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta Sittin and scratchin' mosquito bites Old fox done give him the slip Watchin' the mornin' glories grow In Biloxi on an overnight trip I bet five dollars to win two bits Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday Ain't no use in'a hurrying up Can't leave till a week from Monday One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan In the Mississippi Delta Miss-iss-siss-ippi Delta
