Woman of the country now that I found you
Longing for your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
For the warm and tender shelter of your body
Oh, Delta Lady


Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady
Your mine, be all mine
Delta Lady


Please donīt ask how many times I found you
Standing wet and naked in the garden
And I think of the days
And the different ways I held you
We were closely touching, yes our heart was beating


Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady
Your mine, be all mine
Delta Lady


Oh, when I'm home again in England
I think of you my love
'Cause, I love you, love


There are concrete mountains in the city 
And pretty city women live inside them
Oh, but yet it seems the city scene is lacking
I'm so glad your waiting for me the country


Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady
Your mine, be all mine
Delta Lady
