Hurray For The Riff Raff Lyrics

"Delta Momma Blues"
(originally by Townes Van Zandt)

Well, come away with me
My little delta boy
I want to be your delta momma for a while
And if you stay, well, you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops into a smile

Well, if you're blue don't cry
Just wander right downtown
And you can find your delta momma waiting 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 grass grows brown
Don't you hang your head too low
No, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
If you'll just ask around
Well, I'm sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feeling fine

Well, come away with me
My little delta boy
I want to 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 teardrops into a smile
