Delta Woman Blues Lyrics - Tampa Red

I'm goin' back to the delta 

That's where I belong 

I'm goin' back to the delta 

That's where I belong 

If old bad luck and trouble 

Don't keep me far to long 

I'd rather be down in the delta 

Than any place I know 

I'd rather be down in the delta 

Than any place I know 

Because I don't feel happy 

No other place I go 

My little woman in the delta 

She was good to me 

My little woman in the delta 

She was good to me 

Well, she was a good kind-hearted 

As one poor gal could be 

I'm goin' back to the delta 

Fall down on my knees 

Gonna ask my delta woman 

To forgive me if she please 

I'm goin' back to the delta, woo 

Goin' to fall down on my knees 

I'm gonna ask my delta woman 

To forgive me if she please 

I've tested with all-a my women 

From here to Mexico 

But my woman in the delta 

She's the sweetest gal I know 

I've tested with all-a my women, woo 

From here to Mexico 

But my little woman in the delta 

She's the sweetest gal I know
