[00:00:00] Written by：George W. Gann/Harold Kenneth Dorman

[00:00:00] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:00:06] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:00:09] Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

[00:00:13] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:00:19] Down in the delta where I was born

[00:00:23] All we raised was cotton potatoes and corn

[00:00:27] I've picked cotton till my fingers hurt

[00:00:30] Draggin' the sack through that delta dirt

[00:00:37] And I've worked hard the whole week long

[00:00:41] Pickin' my fingers to the blood and bone

[00:00:44] There ain't a lot of money in a cotton bale

[00:00:48] At least when you try to sell

[00:00:51] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:00:55] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:00:59] Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound

[00:01:03] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:01:09] On Saturday nights we'd get dressed up

[00:01:13] Catch us a ride on a pickup truck

[00:01:16] On a gravel road it neatly string to lust

[00:01:20] That cotton pickin' delta dust

[00:01:24] We'd sit across the street on the depot porch

[00:01:28] Lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us

[00:01:32] Munchin' on a dust covered ice cream cone

[00:01:36] And wondering how we'd get back home

[00:01:39] From a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:01:43] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:01:47] Nothin' much to do but just hang around

[00:01:50] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:01:55] From a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town

[00:01:59] One dusty street to walk up and down

[00:02:03] Nothin' much to do but just hang around

[00:02:07] In a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town
