Ricky Shane - Delta Queen lyrics

Delta Queen honey honey Where you been Delta Queen honey honey 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.
