lyrics
Drive Down to The Delta
Baby, won’t you come (won't you come)
I know that you’ve been blue and lonesome
Grab your keys, follow the moss trees, my love
Hold my face in your mind
Till you see the Bayou Sun
Clutching your pillow like a crucifix,
You call my name into the night
You don’t want to work no more
You’re tired of the city life
Well, pack up your pain, don’t look back
Highway 51 in your red Cadillac
Follow the scent of my perfume
And you’ll be home soon
Drive Down to The Delta
Baby, won’t you come (won't you come)
I know that you’ve been blue and lonesome
Grab your keys, follow the moss trees, my love
Hold my face in your mind
Till you see the Bayou Sun
On my porch, in a dress of blue (blue), dancing
To visions of our love
Now our life can begin
I throw them other boys to the wild wind
Bring the champagne, I hear
The church bells for us
Drive Down to The Delta
Baby, won’t you come (won't you come)
I know, you’ve been blue and lonesome
Grab your keys, follow the moss trees, my love
Hold my face in your mind
Till you see the Bayou Sun
Now we’re married and have a dog (yes we do)
Barking all them fools off our lawn
If they cross our tracks
I’ll send them to the graveyard with a bottle of jack
Yeah baby, I know a thing or two
Drive Down to The Delta
Baby, won’t you come (won't you come)
I know that you’ve been blue and lonesome
Grab your keys, follow the moss trees, my love
Hold my face in your mind
Till you see the Bayou Sun
Imagine leaving your country in search of beauty, love and truth. That’s exactly what Caroline Cotto was brave enough to do.
She left NYC to live in Paris to explore artistic opportunities to enrich her writing and music. Caroline then lived in London playing blues and soaking up the history of her rock heroes before moving to New Orleans....more
