Well, come away with me my little delta boy
I wanna 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 tear drops into a smile
Well, if you're blue don't cry
Just wander right downtown
And you can find your delta momma waitin' there
Well I thought you knew that I would never let you down
I can ease your mind and take away your cares
Well, if the gra** grows brown
Don't you hang your head too low
No, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
If you just ask around, well I'm sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin' fine
Well, come away with me my little delta boy
I wanna 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 tear drops into a smile
