Townes Van Zandt — Delta Momma Blues

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
