Gentle country man now that I found you
Waiting in your rich and fertile delta
I will whisper songs to satisfy your longing
For the warm and tender shelter of my body
And you're mine, yes your my Delta man
Yes you're mine, dear you're my Delta man
Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing waiting for me under the shade tree
And I think of days, and different ways, you held me
Understand now gentleman, I am a lady
And you're mine, yes your my Delta man
Yes you're mine, dear you're my Delta man
Oh when I'm home again in the city
I think of you because I love you
When I get back uptown it ain't the same, no
All them city men don't do nothing to me
And you know it seems in all my dreams I want you
I'm so glad you're waiting for me down in the country
Well you're mine, yes your my Delta man
Yes you're mine, dear you're my Delta man
Oh you're mine, yes your my Delta man
Oh you're mine, dear you're my Delta man
