Mississippi Delta Blues

(Verse 1)

Mud-stained waters, cotton fields wide,
Troubled soul wanderin', nowhere to hide.
Guitar moanin', beneath a southern sky,
Heart full of sorrow, river rollin' by.

(Chorus)

Mississippi Delta Blues, deep down inside,
Echoes through the darkness, can't run, can't hide.
Story of a land, tears and truth collide,
Forever bound to Mississippi Delta Blues.

(Verse 2)

Crossroads linger, devil's in the shade,
Promises whispered, bargains been made.
Haunted by voices, legends left behind,
Blues tells the story, written deep in time.

(Chorus)

Mississippi Delta Blues, haunting my dreams,
Reflections in water, nothing as it seems.
Blood, sweat, and tears, woven through the seams,
Livin' and dyin' with Mississippi Delta Blues.

(Bridge)

Every note played carries the weight,
Of all who struggled, love turned to hate.
Yet through the pain, there's beauty and pride,
The soul of the Delta forever survives.

(Verse 3)

Dusty roads traveled, songs left behind,
Echoes through history, imprinted on my mind.
Generations passed, spirits remain,
Delta keeps singin', through joy and through pain.

(Chorus)

Mississippi Delta Blues, eternal flame,
A voice of the heartland, calling my name.
Walkin' this journey, never the same,
My soul belongs to Mississippi Delta Blues.

(Outro)

Mississippi Delta Blues, in every song I sing,
Whisperin' through willows, on an angel's wing.
Forever indebted, forever I'll choose,
To live my life for Mississippi Delta Blues.
