The sliding Delta run right by my door
I'm leavin' here, baby, honey, don't you wanna go?
Leavin' here, sweet baby, honey don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, and I ain't comin' back no more

My suitcase is packed, my trunk's already gone
Oh, I'm leavin' here, baby, what in the world you waitin' on?
Leavin' here, sweet haby, honey what you waitin' on?
...

I says, the sliding Delta run right by my door
I'm leavin' here, baby, honey, don't you wanna go?

The big Kate Allen, got ways just like a man
Lord, she'll steal your baby every time she land
Will still your baby every time she land

[Humming]

I'm going, I'm going... Up the country baby, honey don't you want to go?
To the railroad this morning, I set down on the ground
Lord, I had a good notion, jump on in and drown
This slidin' Delta run right by my door
I'm leavin' here, baby, honey, don't you wanna go?
