paroles de chanson Delta Queen - Remastered - New Jordal Swingers

Left my friends at home on Friday morning
Said I'd leave Kansas City far behind
The highway introduced me to St. Louis
Made it 'cross that river, she was
Shinin' on and on and on as I went movin'
Reachin' out of Memphis I joined the scene
I guess I found that queenie down that river
Rollin' on and guided by the stream

Roll on down that river
Roll on, my Delta Queen
Once they picked your cotton out there
Down the Memphis scene
Roll on down that river
Roll on my, Delta Queen
You're goin' down, down, down, down, down
Down the Memphis scene

I picked up the hammer once depicted in my history book
Built railroad ways to the sweat of my soul within
Was whipped by the boss-men down the cotton fields
My workin' day was hard, and I got
In and out of jails for unknown reasons
It's a long long time ago, but the same ol' scene
We sang our songs about the Mississippi and the Jordan
We sang our songs about them Delta Queen
