Come away with me, |
|
My little delta boy |
|
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile |
|
And if you stay you'll see |
|
That i bring you lots of joy |
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile |
|
Well, if you're blue don't 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 you'll see |
|
That i bring you lots of joy |
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile |
|
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 |
|
I'm sure someone will know |
|
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin fine |
|
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 to 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 |
|
Ah, come away with me, |
|
My little delta boy |
|
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile |
|
And if you stay you'll see |
|
That i bring you lots of joy |
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile |
