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
