DELTA QUEEN

You're like a hard runnin' river
But your kiss makes me quiver
When you're soft as the bayou breeze
Like a New Orleans summer
You're a hot-blooded lover
You bring me to my knees
So why you shut me down
When I've finally found
My Delta Queen

You lost your home on the morning
The storm came a calling
Now you're fighting to believe
That all you surrendered
And all you remember
You don't really need
But you dream of that place
And you still see the face
The man
Who was your everything


Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Be my Delta Queen
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Let me by your King










Have you gotten so tough
Cause you've had enough
Of pain you don't want again
It'll all be alright
Just let me hold you tonight
Girl, please let me in
Come on, let me close
You know what I want most
Is your love, Delta Queen
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Be my Delta Queen
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Mmn, mmn, mmn, mmn
Let me by your King



Girl, don't run like the river
I know your heart bleeds
Let me hold you tonight
My Delta Queen
