Delta Momma Blues

[Chorus]

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

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

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

[Verse 1]

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

You can find your delta momma waiting there

I thought you knew that I would never let you down

I can ease your mind and take away all your cares

[Chorus]

Come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

If you stay, you'll see I can bring you lots of joy

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

[Verse 2]

If the grass grows brown, don't you hang your head too low

There ain't no need for you to sit and pine

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

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

[Chorus]

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

If you stay, you'll see I can bring you lots of joy

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

[Verse 3]

Well, 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 take it slow and somehow you come meandering out my way

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

[Chorus]

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while

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

I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

[Outro]

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy

I want to be your delta momma for a while
