DELTA LADY

(Leon Russell)

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 mine, 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 diff'rent ways I held you
When we're close in touch and each of our heart was beating
Oh, you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
And you're mine, me oh my, Delta Lady

Oh, when I'm home again in England
I think of you, love - think about you, oh think about you
Because I love you, love

There are concrete mountains in the city
And dirty city women live inside them
And ooh yet it seems the city scene is lackin' you
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country
Oh you're mine, yes you're my Delta Lady
Tell you're mine, me oh my, my Delta Lady
Yeah, you're mine, yes you're my, my Delta Lady
Yeah, you're mine, yeah you're my Delta Lady ....
