Beside the old mare's st all
Down where the cotton grows t all
Down where the c otton grows t all
And a f ragr ant delta br eeze

In the d eep of the n ight
In the d eep of the n ight
By the r iver so st ill
where sorrows come to h eal
And wrongs are made r ight
Down in the deep of the n ight
In the d eep of the n ight
On a c reak ing porch sw ing
the ancient ones s ing
"everyt hing is alr ight "

T ime you took your re st in the sheltering lo am
Go on ahead and go h ome
Go on ah ead and go h ome
