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
Oh, you're mine delta lady
Your 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 the days
And the different ways I held you
I held you closely to me
Yes, our heart was beating
Oh, you're mine delta lady
You're mine, be all mine
Delta lady
When I'm home again in England
And I'm thinking of you love
Because, I love you
Yes, I do, 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 mine delta lady
Darling, you're mine, be all mine
Delta lady
Oh, you're mine delta lady
Darling, you're mine, be all mine
Delta lady
