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 Standing 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
