"Delta Momma Blues"

By townes van zandt
Come away with me,My little delta boyI wanna be your delta mama for awhileAnd if you stay you'll seeThat I bring you lots of joyI turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, if you're blue don't cryJust wander right downtownYou can find your delta mama waitin' thereWell, I thought you knew that iWould never let you downI can ease your mind and take away your cares
Come away with me,My little delta boyI wanna be your delta mama for awhileAnd if you stay you'll seeThat I bring you lots of joyI turn those little teardrops to a smile

Well, if the grass goes brownDon't you hang your head too lowWell, there ain't no need for you to sit and pineIf you'll just ask aroundI'm sure someone will knowJust exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin fine
Well, if you don't know by nowWhat I've been tryin' so hard to sayWell my delta boy I'm afraid you're up to tightBut you take it slow and somehowYou come meandering out my wayAnd I'll take you in my arms and make it right
Ah, come away with me,My little delta boyI wanna be your delta mama for awhileAnd if you stay you'll seeThat I bring you lots of joyI turn those little teardrops to a smile
