Delta Queen Lyrics

[Verse]

Take a ride on a riverboat queen

All the way down to New Orleans

Take a trip across the Pontchartrain

In the misty morning rain



[Chorus]

Down in New Orleans

Riding on the Delta Queen

Riding on the Delta Queen



[Verse]

Take a walk round the quarter at night

The Zydeco playing till the morning light

Hard to believe in just what you see

How it feels when you're living free



[Chorus]

Down in New Orleans

Riding on the Delta Queen

Riding on the Delta Queen



[Verse]

And there just ain't no denying

That there's something going on

Still you get to keep on trying

Till the break of dawn



Went to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Strangest thing that you've ever seen

Nothing like it in the whole wide land

Some folks they just can't understand



Take a ride on a riverboat queen

All the way down to New Orleans

Take a trip across the Pontchartrain

In the misty morning rain



[Chorus]

Down in New Orleans

Riding on the Delta Queen

Riding on the Delta Queen



Down in New Orleans

Riding on the Delta Queen

Riding on the Delta Queen
