Van Zandt, Townes - Delta Momma Blues Lyrics
Come away with me,
My little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
And if you stay you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
Well, if you're blue don't cry
Just wander right downtown
You can find your delta mama waitin' there
Well, I thought you knew that I
Would never let you down
I can ease your mind and take away your cares
Come away with me,
My little delta boy
And if you stay you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, if the grass goes brown
Don't you hang your head too low
Well, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
If you'll just ask around
I'm sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin' fine
Well, if you don't know by now
What I've been tryin' so hard to say
Well my delta boy I'm afraid you're up to tight
But you take it slow and somehow
You come meandering out my way
And I'll take you in my arms and make it right
Ah, come away with me,
My little delta boy
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
And if you stay you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
I turn those little teardrops to a smile

Van Zandt, Townes Delta Momma Blues Comments
Townes brings the goods on every single record. Makes the whiskey go down nicely
Thank you Townes
This a Carter Family song. At one point in time we knew didn't have to declare covers. WE AIN'T in those days anymo'. LORD knows.
Un miserable va matar John Lennon el 1980 i ens va privar de seguir gaudint de la seva música. Disset anys més tard l'heroïna i l'alcohol es van emportar un altre John, en aquest cas Townes Van Zandt, el millor cantautor del segle XX. Us imagineu la música que ens hem perdut per culpa d'un boig i de les drogues??
That Demon Alcohol struck him down and cheated us.
He knew what was coming and did his thing until the end of the line then left us

For some reason, TVZ's tunes remind me of being alone on Christmas morning, opening a can of beans, polishing off the bourbon, chasing it with the last can of beer in the fridge, and wondering if I've got enough change somewhere to buy some cigarettes. Only those who have been there know what I'm talking about...
That was when the change that fell between the cushions could buy some ready-rolls or a sack.
Dude Christmas sucks. Shut up and pass me a smoke
Moe Szyzlak?
What else do you know about me?
Someone asked him , " why do you write such sad songs" He replied " I don't write sad songs, I write hopeless songs. Anyone who has been there knows the difference. Powerful words..
Such a famous unknown singer songwriter.
Townes loved to entertain. He was troubled but tried to be as free a spirit as possible. So much wisdom in his lyrics.
I feel like Townes suffered so much and yet lived so big. How could both be true? How did that feel for him? He gave us a little of that in his voice and song.
Tower Song- the John Denver side of Townes
Thanks so much for posting Townes...
Great album. Townes...
