Delta Momma Blues

Come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

And if you stay, well you'll see that I can bring you lots of joy

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

Well, if you're blue, don't cry, just wander right downtown

You can find your delta momma waiting there

Well, I thought you knew that I would never let you down

I can ease your mind and take away your cares

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

And if you stay, well you'll see that I can bring you lots of joy

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

Well, if the grass goes brown, don't you hang your head too low

Well, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine

If you'll just ask around, well I'm sure someone will know

Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feeling fine

If you don't know by now what I've been trying so hard to say

Well, my delta boy, I'm afraid you're up too tight

But you take it slow and somehow you'll come meandering out my way

And I'll take you in my arms and make it right

Aw, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

And if you stay, well you'll see that I can bring you lots of joy

I'll take you in my arms and make it right
