I'm going back to Sugarcane County
It's lovin' time on the Delta
That old ipsy moonlight can't keep through
And the summer rain can't see through
To my lovin' place in Sugarcane County
I left the land of Sugarcane when I was sixteen
Daddy caught me with my arms around my baby
Then he sent me away to school in New Orleans
He said I had to learn to be a lady
My baby told me in his letter he'd be waiting for me
At our lovin' place in Sugarcane County
Well, the only education I ever hoped to get
Was to be a lady
It's some more of what I learned on the swanee
So I'm going back to Sugarcane County
It's lovin' time on the Delta
That old ipsy moonlight can't keep through
And the summer rain can't see through
To my lovin' place in Sugarcane County
Well, the first thing I'm gonna do
When I reach home
Is put my arms around me
My sugar daddy
Then we'll pay a little visit
To the county J.P.
And live on low in Sugarcane County
So I'm on my way down to Sugarcane County
Cause it's lovin' time on the Delta
That old ipsy moonlight can't keep through
And the summer rain can't see through
To my lovin' place in Sugarcane County
Oh baby, that's Sugarcane County
