Delta Pines

Rolled into Vicksburg
Crossed that Mississippi state
Them bright lights by the river done tore
My body from my pay
Rolled out in the morning
Went by Willie Dixon Way
The southern roads kept winding
The nights bled into days

Indianola where you, been so long
I seen Patton's bones
I made Church Street home
Heard the King sing the final song
Need fuel in the evening
The Blue Biscuit's just the thing
It was quiet on the highway
Yeah I'm riding for the King

Hello Helena
You're sure, looking fine
I came rolling down the row and somebody said
King Biscuit Time
Friars Point was calling
Yeah where Johnson sang his song
The red eye drive got hazy
I can't remember right from wrong

Come up on Clarksdale
It's just gone ninety six
I got some hot tamales
Seen where they laid out Bessie Smith
At night I hung off reefer
Watching Leo burn up Reds
The delta pines are calling
Listen what Muddy Waters said
