[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
How the weather in the [Em]country
How the weather down south
How the weather in the Delta
How the food taste in your mouth
Butter beans and cornbread
Grits and [A]greens
[Em]Candied yams and black eye peas

[Verse 2]

[Asus2]where tha[A]t Delta sky is sweet and clear[Em]
Ooo y'all I'm [B]stuck here in Chicago,
please don't leave me
[Em]

[Verse 3]

Last time I saw her, it was in my dreams
She the sweetest thing under
[A]the sun
When I think [Em]about some loving,
she's still the one

[Verse 4]
Now if you're [A]goin' to Mississippi,

Well you know [B]I'm stuck here in Chicago,

[Verse 5]
What they doing in Vicksberg, down
in Aberdeen
They got more fine big legged women
any one man's ever seen
What they doing in Jackson
and little ol' Itta Bena
I ain't been in Clarksdale since 1963

Baby run off and left me, late last [A]year
It was [Em]chuck cold crippler,
deep deep snow on the ground
Came home late home in the evening
she done tore my playhouse down

[Verse 8]
