Nighttime and shadows
Are comin' my way
Southland is at rest
Nighttime and shadows
Relieving the day
Nature's at its best
When it's darkness on the delta
That's the time my heart is light
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Fields of cotton all around me
Folks are singin' sweet and low
Lord, I'm lucky that you found me
Where the mighty Mississippi waters flow
Oh, loungin' on the levee
Listenin' to the nightin' gales
Way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy
All God's children got someone to love
When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
Now, we were loungin' on the levee
And listenin' to the nightin' gales
Way up above
Laughter on the levee
'Cause no one's heart is heavy
All God's children got someone to love
When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night
