Lyrics
down in the delta where the cotton feels weak rivers run muddy with secrets they keep chains on my body but my spirit's unbound singing my sorrow to the midnight sound hard times come knocking they won't let me be but i pick up my guitar set my heartache free oh the blues they call my name from the deep south pain rising like a flame blue notes bending telling tales of fight resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they carry me through expressive soul crying me and you african roots twisting through the piney woods voices of the weary miss sun understood twelve bars of thunder hammering my truth hardship and every strength from my callous youth lost loves and labor under that burning sun but i keep on strumming till the battle's won oh the blues they call my name from the deep south pain rising like a flame blue notes bending telling tales of fight resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah oh the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right yeah the blues they call my name from the deep south pain resilience in the dark turning wrong to right
