Delta Blues
About
This track captures the raw essence of Delta Blues with a soulful male vocal delivering heartfelt lyrics over a sparse 12-bar guitar riff, accented by harmonica wails that evoke deep longing and quiet resilience. The production remains intimate and unpolished, featuring steady bass lines and subtle drum brushes to underscore the emotional weight without overwhelming the expressive blue notes. At around 122 seconds, it unfolds through call-and-response verses that build to a poignant, fading outro, transporting listeners to the misty nights of the Deep South.
Lyrics
woke up this morning sun barely rising high coffee's cold and my baby's long goodbye goodbye hands cowed us from the plow back aching low dreams slip away like the river's slow flow oh the blues come calling in the dead of night whiskey whispers but it don't make it right i used to bear but but i'll keep on walking and breathing this air train rolls distant carrying folks i once knew feeling so blue rain on the tin roof the the I lost my way in the storm rise again oh the blues come calling in the dead of night but it don't make it right i used to bear but i'll keep on walking breathing this air oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night yeah oh the blues come calling in the dead of night yeah oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night oh the blues come calling in the dead of night
