1. Woman of the country, now I found you,

C G C

lounging in your soft and fertile Delta.

C - Em C7 - F

And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing,

C G C

for the warm and tender shelter of my body.

Bb F C

You’re mine, yes, you’re mine, Delta lady,

Bb F C - G

you’re mine, you’re all mine, Delta lady.

C D7 F

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

C G C

standing wet and naked in the garden.

C - Em C7 - F

I think of days and different ways I held you,

C G7 C

we were closely touching, yes, our heart was beating.

Bb F C

You’re mine, yes, you’re mine, Delta lady,

you’re mine, you’re all mine, Delta lady.

I think of you, love, because I love you.

3. There are concrete mountains in the city, hey,

C G7 C

and pretty city women live inside them.

C - Em C7 - F

Oh, but yet it seems the city scene is lacking,

C G7 C

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

Bb F C

You’re mine, yes, you’re mine, Delta lady,

Bb F C

you’re mine, you’re all mine, my Delta lady.

Bb F C

You’re mine, oh, you’re mine, my Delta lady,

Bb F C

you’re mine, yes, you’re mine, my Delta lady.

Bb F C

+ You’re mine, yes, you’re mine, Delta lady !
