Lyrics
Woman of the country, now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I'm done whispering 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 tied to me, yes our heart was beating
Oh, you're my, yes, you're my delta lady
And you're my, me, oh, my, delta lady
Oh, and I'm home again in England
I think of you (Think about you, oh, I think about you)
Because I love you, love
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
Say you're my, me, oh, may delta lady
And you're my, yes, you're my, my delta lady
Yeah, you're my, yeah, you're my delta lady
Say you're my, yes, you're my, my delta lady
