[Chorus]
BIn a EMississippi cotton pickin' B7Delta town
One dusty street to Ewalk up and down
Nothin' much to see but a Astarvin' hound
In a B7Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta tEown
[Verse 1]
EDown in the Delta where B7I was born
All we raised was cotton, poEtatoes and corn
I've picked cotton till my Afingers hurt
B7Draggin' the sack through that Delta dEirt
And I've worked hard the Bwhole week long
Pickin' my fingers to the Eblood and bone
There ain't a lot of money in a Acotton bale
At B7least when you try to sEell
[Chorus]
BIn a EMississippi cotton pickin' B7Delta town
One dusty street to Ewalk up and down
Nothin' much to see but a Astarvin' hound
In a B7Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta tEown
[Verse 2]
On Saturday nights we'd B7get dressed up
Catch us a ride on a Epickup truck
On a gravel road, it nearly Astrangled us
That B7cotton pickin' Delta dEustB  
EWe'd sit across the street on the B7depot porch
Lookin' at the folks lookin' Eback at us
Munchin' on a dust covered Aice cream cone
B7Wondering how we'd get back hEome
[Chorus]
BFrom a EMississippi cotton pickin' B7Delta town
One dusty street to Ewalk up and down
Nothin' much to do but just Ahang around
In a B7Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta tEown
BFrom a EMississippi cotton pickin' B7Delta town
One dusty street to Ewalk up and down
Nothin' much to do but just Ahang around
In a EMississippi cotton pickin' B7Delta tEown

[Chorus]

B E B7

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

One dusty street to walk up and down

Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

B7 E

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[Verse 1]

E B7

Down in the Delta where I was born

All we raised was cotton, potatoes and corn

I've picked cotton till my fingers hurt

B7 E

Draggin' the sack through that Delta dirt

And I've worked hard the whole week long

Pickin' my fingers to the blood and bone

There ain't a lot of money in a cotton bale

B7 E

At least when you try to sell

[Chorus]

B E B7

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

One dusty street to walk up and down

Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

B7 E

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

[Verse 2]

On Saturday nights we'd get dressed up

Catch us a ride on a pickup truck

On a gravel road, it nearly strangled us

B7 E B

That cotton pickin' Delta dust

E B7

We'd sit across the street on the depot porch

Lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us

Munchin' on a dust covered ice cream cone

B7 E

Wondering how we'd get back home

[Chorus]

B E B7

From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

One dusty street to walk up and down

Nothin' much to do but just hang around

B7 E

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

B E B7

From a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

One dusty street to walk up and down

Nothin' much to do but just hang around

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town
