Delta Woman Blues - Tampa Red

I’m goin' back to the delta

That’s where I belong

I’m goin' back to the delta

That’s where I belong

If old bad luck and trouble

Don’t keep me far to long

I’d rather be down in the delta

Than any place I know

I’d rather be down in the delta

Than any place I know

Because I don’t feel happy

No other place I go

My little woman in the delta

She was good to me

My little woman in the delta

She was good to me

Well, she was a good kind-hearted

As one poor gal could be

I’m goin' back to the delta

Fall down on my knees

Gonna ask my delta woman

To forgive me if she please

I’m goin' back to the delta, woo

Goin' to fall down on my knees

I’m gonna ask my delta woman

To forgive me if she please

I’ve tested with all-a my women

From here to Mexico

But my woman in the delta

She’s the sweetest gal I know

I’ve tested with all-a my women, woo

From here to Mexico

But my little woman in the delta

She’s the sweetest gal I know
