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
Yes, you're my, me oh 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 ....

    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

  26. I.... ....

    The best part of music....all these great artists will always be rememberd

  27. w.... ....

    J.... D....

    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.

  38. R.... F....

    I.... ....

    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!!!

  43. F.... I....

    J.... L....

    Jessy Leppert I saw him play in a little hole in Costa Rica many many years ago and he killed it

  53. J.... M....

  67. M.... E....

    A day late Paul but here you are Delta Lady joe cocker !

  68. p.... p....

    Class act

  69. g.... ....

    Maybe Joe's greatest song!  Written by Leon Russell and you can't beat that amazing piano by Leon!!

    g.... ....

    coulnt agree more,what a great pairing.

    g.... ....

    +gsdsteve yes written by Leon Russell. my brother   consequently a t the time bought an album of Leon Russell...

  70. R.... C....

    Joe could take a song and make it his own. Not many artists can do that.

    R.... C....

    Agreed. He had a unique ability to do that.

  71. D.... B....

    Been listening to Joe nearly all my life.............will miss him......The legend lives on 

  72. t.... ....

    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.

    t.... ....

    Same for me, my friend... too much technology all around, I find it as the main reasons. Cheers

    t.... ....

    You are NOT wrong! Mainstream Music is pretty Soulless Now.

    t.... ....

    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.

    t.... ....

    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

    t.... ....

    Well said and SO true!

  73. d.... o....

    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.

  74. m.... o....

    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

  75. D.... B....

    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.

  76. m.... ....

    Big when I was in high school, made that time of life just bearable! Rest peacfully my brother you earned it.

  77. F.... R....

    i enjoy every single song by   joe
     cocker any body can tell me if he is an  m b e

  78. K.... E....

    This was my first introduction to Joe Cocker's unique vocal style. I love this track. R.I.P. x

    K.... E....

    And by all accounts, he was a very nice guy. Think of all the singers that are card-carrying pricks.

  79. p.... s....

    Buon Viaggio Joe...

  80. t.... h....

    This song brings me back early years of my life, moments so precious !

  93. A.... B....

    rest in peace

    A.... B....

    @Betty Massie never saw him live - was on my list

  94. R.... C....

    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.

    R.... C....

    i think people feel you are taking their cultural heritage without permission, etc it can be a sensitive subject, you know

    R.... C....

    Well hello Dick Cheese. Are you trying to say British musicians actually had a clue?

    R.... C....

    who has ownership of culture, if anyone wants some of my own culture they are welcome.

    R.... C....

    HALLO, Peter, did they not? did they just copy or what? educate me.

    R.... C....

    Those people are completely ignorant of the genesis of this song.

  95. B.... H....

    Cocker Happy was the first album I ever bought, still got it. I'll be playing it tonight. Happy travels Joe.
