Lyrics - Delta Queen by Ricky Shane

Delta
Queenhoney honey
Where you been
Delta
Queenhoneyhoney
Where you been.
Tell me mister have you seen
The girl they call the
Delta
Queen
In
New
Orleans
He said
I know the girl you mean
She's singing at the
Delta
Queen
Down seventeen.
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.
She left her home in
Baton
Rouge
She only had one pair of shoes
What could she lose.
The time had come for her to chose
Between the good life and the blues
What could she lose.
