Lyrics
DELTA DELITE
Delta Delite, I'll be with you tonight.
Ridin' on that river underneath the southern moonlight
Delta Delite, I hear your engines sing.
Make your run from Memphis all the way to New Orleans.
Take it easy watch out for the sand.
Don't wanna get stuck on land.
Ole man river fightin' everyway he can
But you know it's gonna be alright.
Keep your wheels a turnin'.
Keep your water churnin'.
Keep your smokestacks burnin'
you're my Mississippi Queen.
We got the time, I got the money.
Ridin" on the river just me and my honey.
Southern stars in her eyes shine bright
Lightin' up everything in sight.
