[Verse]
      C        C7  F
Come away with me,

my little delta boy
        G7                      C      G7
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
           C                C7
And if you stay well you'll see
           F
that I can bring you lots of joy
      G7                                C F G7
I can turn those little teardrops to a smile


                C          C7   F
Well, if you're blue don't cry

just wander right downtown
        G7                           C     G7
you can find your delta mama waitin' there
                    C         C7
Well, I thought you knew that I
      F
would never let you down
       G7                                C F G7
I can ease your mind and take away your cares

             C          C7
Well, if the grass goes brown
          F
don't you hang your head too low
          G7                               C    G7
No, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
               C    C7
If you'll just ask around
         F
Well I'm sure someone will know
       G7                                             C F G7
just exactly-what-it-takes to get-you-back-to feelin' fine



      C        C7  F
Come away with me,

my little delta boy
