Delta Lady lyrics

Woman of the country now I've found you

Longing in your soft and fertile delta

And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing

For the warmth and tender shelter of my body.

Oh you're my, yes, you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady.

Please don't ask how many times I found you

Standing wet and naked in the garden

And I think of days and different ways I held you

Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating.

Oh you're my, yes, you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady.

Oh, and I'm over here in England

But I think of you, think about you

Because I love you

There are concrete mountains in the city

And pretty city women live inside them

And yet it seems the city scene is lacking

I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country.

Oh you're my, yes, you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady.

Oh you're my, yes, you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady.

Oh you're my, yes, you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady.
