Lyrics
Delta Blues
Goin' to the Delta got my rider 'long
Goin' to the Delta got my rider long
If I can't find my baby I'm gonna get myself a gun
She left me in Memphis didn't say goodbye
She left me in Memphis didn't say goodbye
When I read that letter I hang my head and cried
Goin down to the crossroads, get me some gasoline
Goin down to the crossroads, get me some gasoline
Gonna ride that levee all the way to New Orleans
I gotta leave here, I can't stay no more
I gotta leave here, I can't stay no more
I'm all evil inside and I'm walkin' the floor
Highway six one to the Louisiana line
Highway six one to the Louisiana line
When I get to New Orleans I'm gonna get myself some wine
Then I'll go to the graveyard, got my rider 'long
I'll go to the graveyard. got my rider 'long
If I can't find my baby I'm gonna get myself a gun
