Lyrics
down in the delta where the cotton fields sway river runs muddy carry my pain away mama worked her fingers to the bone daddy lost to the bottle left us all alone sweat on my brow in the heat of the sun dreams like a freight train always on the run oh the blues come calling in the dead of night blue notes wailing holding on tight hardships my shadow but i rise with the dawn resilient heart beating singing this song from the deep south soil where the spirit's been forged emotion in every chord never ignore lost my sweet baby to the fever's cruel bite wandered these back roads searching for life harmonica crying like a lonesome hound guitar strings weeping on this barren ground folks gather around the fire sharing their tales voices rising together through the wind and the gales oh the blues come calling in the dead of night blue notes wailing holding on tight hardships my shadow but i rise with the dawn resilient heart beating singing this song from the deep south soil where the spirit's been forged emotion in every chord 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep no more under the weight of the storm i stand tall in the fire transformed oh the blues come calling in the dead of night blue notes wailing holding on tight hardships my shadow but i rise with the dawn resilient heart beating singing this song from the deep south soil where the spirit's been forged emotion in every chord 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep 12 bars of sorrow bending low and high called to the response echoing my wire through the chains of yesterday i break free at last african roots running deep
