When there’s darkness on the delta That’s the time my heart is light. When there’s darkness on the delta Let me linger in the shelter of the night.
Fields of cotton all around me Campers singin’ sweet and low Lord I’m lucky to livin’ Where the mighty Mississippi waters flow.
Laughter on the levy, listen to the nightingales Way up above. Laughter on the levy, no one’s heart is heavy. All God’s children have someone to love.
When there’s darkness on the delta All of heaven is in sight. When there’s darkness on the delta Let me linger in the shelter of the night. Let me linger in the shelter of the night. |

On a wagon, bound for market There’s a calf with a mournful eye. High above him there’s a swallow Winging swiftly through the sky.
Chorus: How the winds are laughing They laugh withal their might. Laugh and laugh the whole day through And half the summer’s night. Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Do. Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Do.
“Stop complaining!” said the farmer. “Who told you a calf to be? Why don’t you have wings to fly with, Like the swallow, so proud and free?”
Repeat chorus.
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, Never knowing the reason why. But whoever treasures freedom Like the swallow, has learned to fly.
Repeat chorus.

Down by the old (not the new but the old) Mill stream (not the river but the stream) Where I first (not last but first) Met you (not me but you).
With your eyes (not your nose but your eyes) So blue (not green but blue), Dressed in gingham (not calico but gingham) Too (not one but too).
It was then (not now but then) I knew (not know but knew) That I loved (not hated but loved) You true (not false but true).
You were sixteen (not seventeen but sixteen), My village queen (not the king but the queen). Down by the old (not the new but the old) Mill stream (not the river but the stream)!
