Here`s a couple versions of the words that people have passed to me:
VERSION I:
Goin` down the delta where I can have my fun. (2x)
Where I can drink my white lightnin` and gamble,
I can bring my baby home.
Don`t the delta look lonely when that evenin` sun goes down. (2x)
Well, you`re lookin` for your baby,
don`t know where she could be found.
Goin` back to my usta be although that she done me wrong. (2x)
Well, I think I`ll have to forgive her,
`cause I`m tired of drifting through this world alone.
She treat me dirty, but I love her just the same. (2x)
Well, it just break my heart to hear her
call some other man call her name.
Now goodbye, I`m going to leave you and I won`t be back no more. (2x)
And my mind gets to rambling,
see you in 1944.
VERSION II:
I`m going down to the Delta
You know where I can have my fun
Well I`m going back to the delta
You kknow where I can have my fun
Where I can drink my white light`nin and gamble
Where I can bring my baby home
Now don`t the delta look lonesome when the
Lord when the ev`nin sun go down
Now don`t hte delta look lonesome when the
Evenin sun go down
When you been lookin for your baby
Don`t know where he could be found
BREAK
He treat me dirty but I
Lord don`t you know I lave him just the same
He treat me dirty
but I love him just the same
You know it just breaks my heart to hear
Some other gal call his name
BREAK
Well now goodbye I`m going to leave you and I
Said I won`t be home no more
Well goodbye I`m going to leave you
I won`t be back no more
You know if I find me a good man
Lord said I won`t be back no more

I`m In Love by Rory Block
