The Sliding Delta run right by my door,
I'm leaving here baby, honey don't you wanna go?

Leaving here sweet baby, honey don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, and I ain't comin' back no more.

My suitcase is packed, my trunk's already gone
Oh, I'm leaving here baby, what the world you waitin' on?

Leaving here sweet baby, honey what you waiting on?

I say the Sliding Delta run right by my door,
I'm leaving here baby, honey don't you wanna go?

The big Kate Allen got ways just like a man,
Lord it steal your baby everytime she land.

Will steal your baby every time she land.

I'm going, I'm going
Up the country baby, honey don't you wanna go?

To the river this morning, I sat down on the ground,
Lord I had a good notion, hmm, jumpin' in and drown.

The Sliding Delta run right by my door,
I'm leaving here baby, honey don't you wanna go?
