Delta Man

Gentle country man now that I found you
Waitin' in your rich and fertile delta
I will whisper songs to satisfy your longin'
For the warm and tender shelter of my body
And you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man

Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing waitin' for me under the shade tree
And I think of days and different ways you held me
Understand my gentle man, I am your lady
And you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man

Oh, when I'm home again in the city
I think of you (Think about you, I think about you) because I love you

When I get back uptown it ain't the same, no
All them city men don't do nothin' to me
And you know it seems in all my dreams I want you
I'm so glad you're waitin' for me down in the country
Well, you're mine, yes, you're mine delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man
Oh, you're mine, yes you're mine, delta man
Oh, you're mine, me oh my, delta man
