I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no peace
|
My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief
|
I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find
|
I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind
|
|
Take me down to the levee where the women sing
|
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
|
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
|
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go
|
|
Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton Rouge
|
But the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I do
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway 61
|
Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
|
