It's a late night show On the radio Goin' down the road With the Wolfman Lightnin' bugs all around Moonlight shinin' down On a little sleeply towns Out in the flatlands, ya'll I can still hear Mama callin' Son it's time to come on in When the darkness started fallin' Everyone gathered 'round the table amen. [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Wish I never left you Been a long time and I missed your face Goin' on back to the delta. Barbeques, back porch stews, and the guitar blues Just about sundown Mockin' melodies Watermelon memories Crusin' the streets downtown Hot summer night down on the levy She spread the blanket on the ground There ain't no feelin' like the first time When the inocence is lost and love is found [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Alomst reach and touch you Spent enough time in that old rat race Goin' on back to the delta I'm tired of searchin' for the awnsers Always out there on the run I'm goin' back to where my heart is Down Highway 61 [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Almost reach and touch you Been a long time and I missed your face Goin' on back to the delta [Chorus] Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze Wish I never left you been a long time and I missed your face Goin' on back to the delta
