Delta Queen

(CHORUS) Delta Queen, honey, honey Where you been Delta Queen, honey, honey Where you been Tell me, mister, have you seen The girl they call the Delta Queen In New Orleans He said, I know the girl you mean She's singing at the Delta Queen Down Seventeen And I when I saw here there Tell the belle slide over here I didn't mind the smokey room Or the smell of stale perfume I only know that she Was made for making love to me Just a woman tired of being alone The one that I'm now taking home (CHORUS) She left her home in Baton Rouge She only had one pair of shoes What could she lose The time had come for her to chose Between the good life and the blues What could she do Hey, I only know that she Was made for making love to me Just a woman tired of being alone The one that I'm now taking home (CHORUS) 2X to fade
