Delta Queen Waltz

Lyrics:

• 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
