[Verse 1]
Gentle country man, now that I found you
Waitin' in your rich and fertile delta
I will whisper songs to satisfy your longin'
For the warm and tender shelter of my body

[Chorus]
And you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man

[Verse 2]
Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standin' waitin' for me under the shade tree
And I think of days and different ways you held me
Understand, my gentle man, I am your lady

[Chorus]
And you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man

[Bridge]
Oh, when I'm home again in the city
I think of you (Think about you, I think about you) because I love you

[Verse 3]
When I get back uptown it ain't the same, no
All them city men don't do nothin' to me
And you know it seems in all my dreams I want you
I'm so glad you're waitin' for me down in the country
[Chorus]
Well, you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Yes, you're mine, me oh my, delta man
Oh, you're mine, yes, you're mine, delta man
Oh, you're mine, me oh my, delta man
