Lyrics Leon Russell – Delta Lady

Woman of the country now I found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
For the warm and tender shelter of my body

Cos you’re mine delta lady
Yeah you’re mine, be all mine
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 the different ways I held you
I held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating

Cos you’re mine delta lady
Yeah you’re mine, be all mine
Delta lady

Oh when I’m home again in england
And I’m thinking of you
Because, I love you, yes I do

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

For you’re mine delta lady
Darlin’ you’re mine, be all mine
Delta lady

Gonna walk, gonna talk
Gonna scream and shout
Gonna tell all the world
What I’m thinkin’ about
