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 to the questions in my 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, Highway 61 Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
