Joe Cocker - Delta Lady Lyrics
Woman of the country now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta.
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
for the warmth and tender shelter of my body.
Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing wet and naked in the garden.
And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you,
Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating.
Oh you're my .....
Oh, and I'm over here in England;
But I think of you, think about you ....
Because I love you,
There are concrete mountains in the city
And pretty city women live inside them.
And yet it seems the city scene is lacking.
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country.
Oh you're my ....

Belting ........................
Saw how cocker on his last Aussie tour. He might not have been able to jump as high but could still sing and still gave 100%
Who would know that Joe Cocker and Leon Russell would write a song about Rita Coolidge.
Yes - just came back from two hours swimming in The Atlantic Ocean in South Carolina - this happy song just came into my mind!
Well written Mr. Leon Russell as well
I Love My Delta Lady Too, Mr. Joe. Well sang. Special gals from the Delta.
Yes Joe🤘
Tusoncia
I agree totally
Where are the voices today that could sing in perfect pitch live without any amplification
Just raw like on a street corner
I heard Taylor Swift sing without
Any crutches and it was weak and
She just managed to hold a note
The best part of music....all these great artists will always be rememberd
One of my fav songs from him.
You can hear the passion through his voice !
🤘🏻😘🤘🏻
Rita Coolidge is the Delta Lady.
Fantastic , Joe cocker . The best Yorkshire singer ever.
I'm a 52 year old black man from Texas grew up on all this great music all I can say is I love you Joe rest in peace
If I could sing Like Joe I'd be so smug people would randomly punch me in the face. Man, what a voice!
His best song ever
Such a good fucking song!!
Song is about Rita Coolidge, singer, once Leon Russell's girlfriend.
Heaven is truly rocking now.
When I'm home again in England... wonderful stuff! Thank you!
wish I was in England with you!!!! lovely weather and people....bless you!!!
Wow his was the best version for sure.
John Delmos Then George Michael and Wham had to rip it off when they recorded the song "Freedom" from "Make It Big." George Michael couldn't cover this song, so he had to steal its rhythm just to make another song.
so good to hear his voice
I call brother Joe the crème de Woodstock maybe because of that beauuuutiful sounding ballad of the Mississippi River boat Queen so darn ahh beauuuutiful love it and brother Joe also rip to brother Leon as well and well peace everyone😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
my god, when i heard Leon Russell he was so raw.always funny to compare
i just wonder who was his 'delta lady'..... but i think it was his life long love and wifey...who is still alive and living on his spread on Colorado...GOD BLESS YOU JOE AND YOUR LADY....many prayers and wishes for your life... (that's for the lady he married and is living quietly in Colorado...bless you sweets!)
Irishldy Leon Russell originally wrote this song - for TN country-rock singer (and his gf at the time) Rita Coolidge.
Thank you, Bucky, for the update...hope you are living a beautiful, mellow life......I am up here in the Pacific Northwest...just need some rain right now..ugh.....today's date: 7/25/18...bless you again!
I heard this song playing in McDonald's here in Denver when I first moved here back in June 2017 and it was the first time in a long time since I heard it before like when I was a kid in the 1970s. I love this song to death!!!
R.I.P. JOE WE REALLY MISS YOU...RAY CHARLES ...LEON RUSSEL JUST TO NAME A FEW.
Won't ever be another one like him......
I was introduced to Joe Cocker music by an English man (true) years ago, he said, " listen to this it might grow on you" and put on an LP, what an understatement
1st line cover artist.
Fleetwood max
Joe Cocker is the best!!
Both gone...thank you 😎
ANOTHER SHINING LIGHTHOUSE OF THE MYRIAD OF MUSIC AT THAT TIME ~~ FOND MEMORIES ~~ENJOY YOUR MOMENTS ~~ CLARKO ~~
Leon and Joe are jamming again right now
RIP Leon Russell
his version is raw as hell, if you don't like blues you would not want to listen. funny i thought cocker wrote this song.
Jessy Leppert I saw him play in a little hole in Costa Rica many many years ago and he killed it
I am of the opinion that this singer had great influence on Bruce Springteen"s singing style.(I hope I got his name right).
Bruce Rowland - Drums
Alan Spenner - Bass
Because we should also know this.
gregmixing you know, you're right: we should all know this! ;)
... also ;-)
RIP JOE THANK U FOR GREAT MUSIC
Rita Coolidge - Delta Lady
Actually I think the Delta Lady's name was Rita Poonage
Yore both wrong it was my love Delia Porter.
poon Rita...
what happened to music like this? where'd it go :(
+daweller maybe not seeing it again. too bad if so for the world.
it got swallowed up by the biebers and rihannas of the world...i blame trump.
mistake111 Lol Sarcasm much? Barry-O favored the modern crap from today. DT likes the classic stuff.
vette hit
Rest Mr. Cocker..Loved ya Brother
RIP Joe. He will be rocking out in the angelic choir, still jerking his arms about ....
brilliant singer
My type of jam
I hear this song and "Feelin' Alright" at my work all the time. Joe Cocker FTW!
Woman of the country now I found you
Longing for your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
For the warm and tender shelter of my body
Oh you're mine, yes you're mine delta lady
Yes you're mine, be all mine Delta lady
Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing wet and naked in the garden
And I think of days and different ways I held you
We were closely touching, yes our hearts was beating
Oh you're mine, yes you're mine delta lady
You're mine, be all mine Delta lady
Oh when I'm home again in England I will think of you love
Because, I love you, love
There are concrete mountains in the city
And pretty city women live inside them
Oh but yet it seems the city scene is lacking
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country
Oh you're mine, yes you're mine delta lady
Yes you're mine, be all mine Delta lady
And you're mine, yes you're mine Delta lady
Gorgeous and sexy lyrics ... just like the man himself!

A day late Paul but here you are Delta Lady joe cocker !
Class act
Maybe Joe's greatest song! Written by Leon Russell and you can't beat that amazing piano by Leon!!
coulnt agree more,what a great pairing.
+gsdsteve yes written by Leon Russell. my brother consequently a t the time bought an album of Leon Russell...
Joe could take a song and make it his own. Not many artists can do that.
Agreed. He had a unique ability to do that.
Been listening to Joe nearly all my life.............will miss him......The legend lives on
Why can't pop music be like this anymore? I don't get the soulessness of modern pop, all pseudo ghettotude with no feeling or soul or hope. I might be turning into an old man but really, I think we're all in trouble now with the state of music now.
Same for me, my friend... too much technology all around, I find it as the main reasons. Cheers
You are NOT wrong! Mainstream Music is pretty Soulless Now.
Music died in britain finally or what was left of it in the year 2000. I think the government here do it on purpose. Radio is sooo baaad. People in britain are just robots.
I agree, but there is one thing music will always do: connect people. I can listen to a new song with my friends and have it be just as good as listening to an old classic
Well said and SO true!
So good to see all the Joe Cocker fans out there. He was one in a million, and always gave his best on stage. Goodbye Joe, you have joined the other greats in rock and roll heaven.
Richard Cheetham your comments are well defined and correct, As in the time present today time these brilliant artists that we knew as we grew up as kids will be forever etched in our memories.
God bless Joe Cocker and all the others that will be there to meet him in another place
I had all the U.S. LP's as a young teenager; the live version of this on "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" really did it for me, but the studio version of course is a bit more "polished," if lacking the same immediacy.
Big when I was in high school, made that time of life just bearable! Rest peacfully my brother you earned it.
i enjoy every single song by joe
cocker any body can tell me if he is an m b e
This was my first introduction to Joe Cocker's unique vocal style. I love this track. R.I.P. x
And by all accounts, he was a very nice guy. Think of all the singers that are card-carrying pricks.
Buon Viaggio Joe...
This song brings me back early years of my life, moments so precious !
What a force. Rest in peace, sir
onto the next thing Joe .....
Underbara, vilda, härliga, fantastiska Joe. Tack för all musik. Tack!
Wonderful, wild, fantastic, amazing Joe. Thanks for all the music. Thank you! RIP
RIP Joe, Sheffield hero. Will always remember you at Woodstock, glory days of youth and freedom
R.I.P. Joe..will miss you x
Rest easy Joe.....
This one hurts! We love you Joe!!!!
So brilliant thank you Joe may you rest in peace x
RIP Mr. Cocker! Thanks for making the difference indeed!
Thank You for the great music Joe, R.I.P. Mate.
My all time fav Joe Cocker song .RIP
A wonderful performer, so lucky I got to see him!! He will be missed! <3
rest in peace
@Betty Massie never saw him live - was on my list
You see all these posts being negative to British artists for taking a blues influence and creating something new from it. Well, this is.what happens in everything. Ever heard the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants"? It refers to being only able to do what you are doing now thanks to those that have gone before. Well done Joe. RIP.
i think people feel you are taking their cultural heritage without permission, etc it can be a sensitive subject, you know
Well hello Dick Cheese. Are you trying to say British musicians actually had a clue?
who has ownership of culture, if anyone wants some of my own culture they are welcome.
HALLO, Peter, did they not? did they just copy or what? educate me.
Those people are completely ignorant of the genesis of this song.
Cocker Happy was the first album I ever bought, still got it. I'll be playing it tonight. Happy travels Joe.
