PROUDFOOT DELTA QUEEN LYRICS

Delta Queen, honey, honey
Where you've been
Delta Queen, honey, honey
Where you've been

Tell me, mister, have you seen
(Delta Queen, honey, honey)
The girl they call the Delta Queen
(Where you've been)
In New Orleans
(Honey, honey)

He said, I know the girl you mean
(Delta Queen, honey, honey)
She's singing at the Delta Queen
(Where you've been)
Down Seventeen
(Honey, honey)

And I when I saw her there
Silver gaslight on her hair
I didn't mind the smoky room
Or the smell of stale perfume

I only know that she's
A fallen angel on her knees
A woman tired of being alone
The one that I'm now taking home

Delta Queen, honey, honey
Where you've been
Delta Queen, honey, honey
Where you've been

She left her home in Baton Rouge
(Delta Queen, honey, honey)
She only had one pair of shoes
(Where you've been)
What could she lose?
(Honey, honey)

The time had come for her to chose
(Delta Queen, honey, honey)
Between the good life and the blues
(Where you've been)
What could she lose?
(Honey, honey)

I only know that she's
A fallen angel on her knees
A woman tired of being alone
The one that I'm now taking home

Delta Queen, honey, honey
(Delta Queen)
Where you've been
(Oh, where you've been)
Delta Queen, honey, honey
(Delta Queen)
Where you've been
(Oh, where you've been)

Delta Queen...
