Bilingual
I wandered far away
From the place where I was born and raised
I suffered through the Oklahoma dry land
And through New York City's cold and rainy days
And now these dried-up bones of mine are powerful thirsty
Just once again to feel them Mississippi rain
Lord, I got that Delta dirt, Lord
Got that Blackland Delta dirt down in my veins
In my veins (in my veins)
Got it in my veins (got it in my veins)
ย
I'm goin' home this mornin'
If I have to walk, run, or fly
I promised me as sure as I'm standin'
That I'm never, ever gonna say goodbye
'Cause this heart of mine keeps tellin' me I'm crazy
To keep on wearin' the city's ball and chain
When I got that Delta dirt, Lord
I got that Blackland Delta dirt down in my veins, Lord
New York City is mighty pretty
If you don't mind what you see
But I'd take a hundred acres of Blackland dirt
Over Detroit, New York, and L.A
I'm goin' home to Delta Mama
'Cause she's got everything gonna cure my aches and pains
And I got that Delta dirt, Lord
I got that Blackland Delta dirt down in my veins
I got it in my veins (in my veins)
I got it in my veins (got it in my veins)
Lord, I got it in my veins
