One Fine Morning
A Spanish moss on the Natchez Trace
A gulf wind blowin' right across my face
French girls dancin' to a big bang drum
Back down south where I come from
Where the river flows like a warm molasses
Rain fogs up my reading glasses
Honeysuckle strong enough to curl your hair
Back down there
Oh, one fine morning
Gonna pull up
I'm gonna chalk it all up
It's just a bad mistake
I'm gonna hit the decks runnin'
Bid a fond farewell
And by the time I get to Memphis
I'll be out of my shell
All the cotton fields just as white as snow
A sweet magnolia blossoms grow
A big moon shinin' like an ice cream cone
Back down south where I belong
Where the river flows like a warm molasses
Rain flower is like a milking honey
The night's a slow when the eggs are runnin'
I wouldn't mind sittin' in a rocking chair
Back down there
Jule of the south
Cross my heart
Shut my mouth
Come the morning
I'l be home
In the sweeeet home of mine
Delta Dawn
guitar solo
guitar solo
On one fine morning and it won't be long
I'm a-leavin' out early with my glad rags on
I'm gonna pull a load of wool off my own two eyes
And sharpen my senses countin' railroad ties
And when the mile-long trestle makes a clickety-clack
The whole dang town is gonna welcome me back
Take me to the land of the sugar cane
And back down on the poncha train
Where the river flows
Like Grand Marnier
A sweet olive takes my breath away
Sunday morning walkin' on the Jackson Square
I'm back down there
Jewel of the South
Cross my heart, shut my mouth
Come the morning, I'll be home
In the sweet
In the sweet Delta Dawn
Come the morning, I'll be home
In the sweet Delta Dawn
In the sweet Delta Dawn
Yeah
I wish I was in a land of cotton
I wish I was in a land of cotton
