"Delta Lady (2001 Recording)" lyrics - LEON RUSSELL

Woman of the country now I found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're my my
Delta lady
Oh my, oh no you're my
Delta lady

Oh my, oh you're my

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

[Chorus:]
Oh my, oh no you're my
Delta lady
Oh mind, oh you're my
Delta lady

[Bridge:]
Oh, when I'm over here in England
I'm thinking of you, love
Oh I love you
Oh now I love you

There are concrete mountains in the city
And pretty city women live inside them
Oh my yes it seems the city scene is lacking
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country

[Chorus:]
For you're my, oh you're my
Delta lady
Oh my, oh you're my
Delta lady
