Bobbie Gentry - Mississippi Delta

[Chorus]
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 year's possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

[Verse 1]
Have me a little that Johnny cake
And a bit o' that apple pandowdy
Pickin' them scuppernongs off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

[Verse 2]
Ate me a bucket of muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
And drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

[Refrain]
One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

[Chorus]
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 year's possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
[Verse 3]
Sittin' 'n' scratchin' mosquito bites
Old fox, I done give him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow
In Biloxi on an overnight trip

[Verse 4]
I bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in a-hurryin' up
Can't leave 'til a week from Monday

[Refrain]
One-ree-o-ree-ee-ree-ann
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

[Outro]
In the Mississippi Delta
Mis-sis-sis-sis-sis-sip-pi Delta
Yeah
In the Mississippi Delta
