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
