This song here that I recorded a couple years ago as a single and I want to tell you friend
it's about my hometown and
The guy that wrote this song also grew up in my hometown of Sledge, Mississippi
About 55 miles below Memphis, Tennessee in the heart of the Delta
This guy's name that wrote this song.
His name's Harold Dorman
You might not remember that name
But he's wrote many songs and I guess his most famous song be that he's ever written was a song that
Went something like this
[D] They
[G] [Dm] [G] get [Dm] [G]
old don't get carried I just wanted to mention the song because you didn't [N] remember Harold Orman
You remember right you remember that song?
Well, he's [E] some sledge
[B]
[E]
[A] [B]
[E] Oh
Down in [Abm] [E] the Delta [B] where I was born all we raised was pot [E]
potatoes and corn
I've been gone till [A] my fingers hurt
[B] Dragging the sack through that
[E]
[B]
[E]
Ain't a lot of [A] money
At [B] least when you try to [E] sell
Mississippi cotton picking [B] Delta town
One dusty street [E] to walk up and down
Nothing much to [A] say but a starving hound
[B] No, Mississippi cotton picking Delta [E] down
on Saturday nights
[B] Get dressed up
Catches a ride on [E] a pickup truck
On a gravel road and [A] nearly stranglers [B] that cotton picking Delta
[E] We sit across the street on the [B] deep
And that's a folks [E] looking back at us
punching on a
[A]
[B] Wondering how we get [E] back home from
Mississippi cotton picking [B] Delta town
One dusty street [E] to walk up and down
Nothing much to do with just [A] hang around
[B] No, Mississippi cotton picking Delta [E]
