I've been spending my time on the Delta
You never see me, cause, love, I'm always there
It's a simple life, it's a call of faith
Trying to touch the hand of God
The Good Lord's laughing now about
How people change
So see me again on a better day
The Devil's daughters they are
Calling my name
So I'm looking up for another way
There's talk of life on the other side
You don't listen to it, but I have to try
Believe me when I tell you, "I won't forget you, girl"
But my rough ways, done me in good
The Good Lord's laughing now about
How people change
So see me again on a better day
The Devil's daughters they are
Calling my name
So I'm looking up for another way
Tell me softly, Tell me sweet
I know you won't
So I'll take the Black Train to the North
I've been spending my time on the Delta
You never see me, cause, love, I'm always there
