Recorded in 1972 on ARIOLA Records.
Believe it hit #1 on several European
charts.
INTRO:
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
#1.
Tell me mister have you seen, the girl they call the
Delta Queen in New Orleans..(honey, honey.)
He said, I know the girl you mean..(honey, honey) she s
singing at the Delta Queen, down Seventeenth..(honey, honey.)
BRIDGE:
And 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, ohhh.
CHORUS:
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
#2.
She left her home in Baton Rouge (honey, honey) she only had
one pair of shoes, what could she lose?..(honey, honey.)
The time had come for her to chose..(honey, honey) between
the good life and the blues, what could she lose?..(honey, honey.)
(INTERLUDE:)
BRIDGE:
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, ohhh.
OUTRO:
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
Delta Queen, honey, honey, where you been?
