Delta Mama Blues — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



Come away with me,

My little delta boy

I wanna be your delta mama for awhile

And if you stay youll see

That I bring you lots of joy

I turn those little teardrops to a smile





Well, if youre blue dont cry

Just wander right downtown

You can find your delta mama waitin there

Well, I thought you knew that i

Would never let you down

I can ease your mind and take away your cares





Come away with me,

My little delta boy

I wanna be your delta mama for awhile

And if you stay youll see

That I bring you lots of joy

I turn those little teardrops to a smile





Well, if the grass goes brown

Dont you hang your head too low

Well, there aint no need for you to sit and pine

If youll just ask around

Im sure someone will know

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





Well, if you dont know by now

What Ive been tryin so hard to say

Well my delta boy Im afraid youre up to tight

But you take it slow and somehow

You come meandering out my way

And Ill take you in my arms and make it right





Ah, come away with me,

My little delta boy

I wanna be your delta mama for awhile

And if you stay youll see

That I bring you lots of joy

I turn those little teardrops to a smile
