Delta Queen  honey honey  Where you been  Delta Queen  honey  honey  Where you been.    Tell me mister have you seen  The girl they call the Delta Queen  In New Orleans  He said  I know the girl you mean  She's singing at the Delta Queen  Down seventeen.    And when I saw her there  Silver gaslight on her hair  I didn't mind the smoky room  Or the smell of stale perfume  I only know that she's  A fallen angel on her knees  A woman tired of being alone  The one that I'm now taking home.    She left her home in Baton Rouge  She only had one pair of shoes  What could she lose.  The time had come for her to chose  Between the good life and the blues  What could she lose.
