Delta Land

Delta Land
(Susie Salley 2004)


Got me a brother livin' down in the delta land
Yeah I got me a brother livin' down in the delta land
He's workin' on a farm with a thousand men
They don't get paid they ain't hired hands
Got me a brother livin' down in the delta land

Gonna make him pay for what he's done
Yeah they're gonna make him pay for what he's done
Gotta pay his debt to society
'n' when he does well he'll be set free
Farming never was a lot of fun

Warden says you'll eat just what you grow
Yeah the warden said well you'll eat just what you grow
But bell peppers mornin', noon and night
For a vegitarian well it'd be alright
It's just his way of makin your time go slow

Solo

Lord I hope he learned his lesson well
I said Lord I hope he learned his lesson well
Workin' down there on the Parchment Farm
Where he can't do nobody no harm
Well I thank God he's souls not bound for hell

Yeah I got me a brother livin' down in the delta land
I said I got me a brother livin down in the delta land
Well he's a-workin' on a farm with a thousand men
They don't get paid they ain't hired hands
Got me a brother livin' down in the delta land

Well he's workin on a farm with a thousand men
They don't get paid they ain't hired hands
Got me a brother livin' down in the delta land
I said I got me a brother lives a-down in that delta land
