Delta Man - Bobbie Gentry

Gentle country man, now that I found you

Waiting in your rich and fertile delta

I will whisper songs to satisfy your longing

For the warm and tender shelter of my body

And you’re mine, yes, you’re my Delta man

Yes, you’re mine, dear, you’re my Delta man

Please, don’t ask how many times I found you

Standing waiting for me under the shade tree

And I think of days, and different ways, you held me

Understand now gentleman, I am a lady

And you’re mine, yes, you’re my Delta man

Yes, you’re mine, dear, you’re my Delta man

Oh, when I’m home again in the city

I think of you because I love you

When I get back uptown it ain’t the same, no

All them city men don’t do nothing to me

And you know it seems in all my dreams I want you

I’m so glad you’re waiting for me down in the country

Well, you’re mine, yes, you’re my Delta man

Yes, you’re mine, dear, you’re my Delta man

And you’re mine, yes, you’re my Delta man

Yes, you’re mine, dear, you’re my Delta man
