The Sliding Delta run right by my door.
Sliding Delta run right by my door.

I'm going up the country, and baby don't you wanna go;
I'm going up the country, baby don't you wanna go.

I'm going up the country, I ain't coming back no more;
I'm going up the country, and I ain't coming back no more;

The big Kate Allen, got ways just like a man.
It'll steal your baby every time she lands.

I said, "The big Kate Allen, got ways just like a man;
Steal your baby every time she lands."

The Sliding Delta run right by my door.
Sliding Delta run right by my door.

My suitcase is packed, and my trunk's already gone.
I can't sleep baby when the world is waitin' on.

I said, I'm going up the country, don't you wanna go;
Going up the country, and I ain't coming back na more.
