Delta Bottom Blues by Priscilla Stewart Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1925

[Verse 1]
Way down on the Delta, honey, where I came from
Way down on the Delta, honey, where I came from
You can get rid of your man, go somewhere and get another one

[Verse 2]
I was born in Arkansas and raised in Memphis, Tennessee
I was born in Arkansas and raised in Memphis, Tennessee
I ain't gonna let no woman's man make a clown of me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Women are deceitful, Lord, and you can't trust men, I say
Women are deceitful and you can't trust men
They'll both mistreat you and call themselves your friend

[Verse 4]
I got the blues so bad that it hurts my tongue to talk
Lord, I've got the blues so bad, it hurts my tongue to talk
I'd go back to my man, but the Delta's too far to walk
