Lyrics Delta Queen Waltz - John Hartford
Oh
we
boarded
the
boat
on
the
breast
of
the
river
so
wide
And
we
left
old
St.
Louis
on
the
crest
of
that
brown
muddy
tide
To
the
strains
of
the
Delta
Queen′s
band
I
found
myself
holding
your
hand
The
way
we
had
hoped
we
would
do
all
that
summer
and
fall
Oh
the
whistle
came
out,
such
a
deep
mellow
sound
in
the
night
And
the
echo
came
back
from
the
shoreline
of
twinkling
lights
There
was
nothing
we
really
could
say
The
river
had
swept
us
away
Like
a
present
hereafter,
the
warm
sound
of
laughter
As
we
danced
to
the
Delta
Queen
Waltz
As
the
big
wheel
keeps
rolling
I
find
myself
holding
you
near
With
the
night
time
unfolding
I'm
lucky
just
having
you
here
As
a
single
wave
curls
down
the
shore,
we′re
waltzing
away
cross
the
floor
As
our
heart
beats
assemble,
the
boat
lightly
trembles
As
we
dance
to
the
Delta
Queen
Waltz
