Well, come away with me, my little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for a while
And if you stay youll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile
If youre blue dont cry just wander right downtown
You can find your delta mama waitin there
I thought you knew that I would never let you down
I can ease your mind and take away all your cares
Come away with me, my little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for a while
If you stay youll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile
If the grass grows brown dont you hang your head too low
There aint no need for you to sit and pine
If youll just ask around then Im sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin fine
Come away with me, my little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for a while
If you stay, youll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, if you dont know by now what Ive been tryin so hard to say
Well, my delta boy Im afraid youre up too 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
Well, come away with me, my little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for a while
If you stay youll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, come away with me, my little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for a while
