"Delta Queen" lyrics - LEFTOVER SALMON

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

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

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
