Lyrics

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
Standin' 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
