Delta Moma Blues Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy 

I wanna be your delta mama 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 

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

You can find your delta mama waitin' there 

I thought you knew that I would never let you down 

I can ease your mind and take away all your cares 

Come away with me, my little delta boy 

I wanna be your delta mama 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 

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'll just ask around then I'm sure someone will know 

Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin' fine 

Come away with me, my little delta boy 

I wanna be your delta mama 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 

Well, if you don't know by now what I've been tryin' so hard to say 

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

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

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

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy 

I wanna be your delta mama 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 

Well, come away with me, my little delta boy 

I wanna be your delta mama for a while
