The Delta Singer |
Never got the chance to tell him |
I liked the boots he wore |
And the faded denim jacket bought from some |
Mississippi store |
And I watched him there in the spotlight |
And the crowd called out for more |
I sat out back and listened underneath the trees |
And the songs kept reminding me of where I’d been |
And the blues notes floated softly on the Australian wind |
And we were both so far from home |
In this little ol' hippie town |
And the delta singer |
He just kept on laying it down |
You only got one way to play it |
And the blues they never lie |
But you get so tired of fighting the flavor of the week |
And it drives you to a distant shore |
Where you might find some place |
And I walk out on the stage |
Feeling kind of out of time |
With rain on my shoulder and the Spanish girl on my mind |
And when there’s nobody left around |
Who remembers the songs that were wrote |
Like the delta singer I keep waiting on the next soulful note |
