[Verse] Down by the river it's a lonesome call Grass all around mighty oak stand tall Hear that guitar wail played by a ghost unseen Strumming out heartache for the fields so green [Verse 2] Whispers of legend in the southern air Charred by the fire blues everywhere Feet on the earth they've walked these roads Singing their stories heavy with their loads [Chorus] Mississippi Delta full of blues so true Haunted by the souls who played through and through Songs of sorrow tales of joy Echo in the night like a long lost boy [Verse 3] Voices carry tune in the night so clear Stand and sway with the rhythm near Broken hearted stories of love and pain Feel the thunderstorms wash away the stain [Bridge] Let that slide guitar weep and moan Soulful spirits never leave us alone Feel the pulse of the delta in the air Holding on to the memories we share [Chorus] Mississippi Delta full of blues so true Haunted by the souls who played through and through Songs of sorrow tales of joy Echo in the night like a long lost boy
