The Delta Blues Lyrics
Woke up this morning with the Delta Blues
This feeling I got is nothing new
These Delta Blues are dragging me under
The Mississippi sky is howlin’ angry thunder
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I beg of you
Take me far away from these Delta Blues
Blues in the morning
Blues at night
If I don’t ever get away from these Delta Blues
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
Hear all the Delta Dogs a-barkin’ mad
All cryin’ for what they wish they’d had
On Parcham Farm the inmates all singing
Penitentiary times like hangman’s nooses swinging
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I beg of you
Take me away from these Delta Blues
These Delta Blues
Blues in the morning
Blues at night
If I don’t get ever get away from these Delta Blues
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
The line’s from Memphis to Vicksbury Town
The levees won’t hold they’re breaking down
The river’s up and soon will overflow
So many people will be lost with no-where to go
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I beg of you
Take me far away from these Delta Blues
From these Delta Blues
Delta Blues, Delta Blues, Delta Blues
Woke up this morning with the Delta Blues
This feeling I got is nothing new
I’m sitting here just waiting for relief
The harmonica blows through fading ghetto belief
Delta Blues
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I beg of you
Take me away from these Delta Blues
Delta Blues, Delta Blues, Delta Blues, Delta Blues
Delta Blues, Delta Blues, Delta Blues,
Blues in the morning
Blues at night
If I don’t get ever get away from these Delta Blues
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
Nothing’s ever gonna be right
Delta Blues
Delta Blues, Delta Blues, Delta Blues
