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

[Verse 1]
If you're blue, don't cry, just wander right downtown
You can find your delta momma waiting there
I thought you knew that I would never let you down
I can ease your mind and take away all your cares

[Chorus]
Come away with me, my little delta boy
I want to be your delta momma for a while
If you stay, you'll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile

[Verse 2]
If the grass grows brown, don't you hang your head too low
There ain't no need for you to sit and pine
If you just ask around, then I'm sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feeling fine

[Chorus]
Well, come away with me, my little delta boy
I want to be your delta momma for a while
If you stay, you'll see I can bring you lots of joy
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile
