Duke Ellington — Delta Bound

[Verse 1] Down on the Delta, that's where there's shelter No helter skelter, no blues around I'm tired of roaming, that's why I'm homing I'm Delta bound When night is falling, my levee's calling And keeps a-calling, I'm going down I'm in a hurry, my heart's a flurry I'm Delta bound [Bridge] Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see Louisiana I can hear those jockeys zing in that free and easy manner [Verse 2] I've been a rover, now that's over Knee deep in clover I'll soon be found I'm on my way now, most any day now I'm Delta bound [Instrumental]
