billy gilman - delta queen lyrics

[verse 1]
everyone remembered, seeing that bride and groom
it was 1929, they were on their honeymoon
a steamboat h+rn was blowing as they waved goodbye to shore
no one knows what happened next when he closed that cabin door

[verse 2]
but they showed up for dinner, in the grand ballroom that night
everyone could tell, they’ve been in a fight
she was still wearing that diamond ring with the sapphires on the side
with a rip in her dress, and her hair all a mess, the truth is hard to find

[chorus]
’cause they couldn’t find one drop of blood
as the paddle wheel pushed that mississippi mud
from h+ll on earth, down to new orleans
it was way too late to turn around now
they searched every way from stern to bow
when she disappeared on the delta queen
delta queen

[verse 3]
the moon lit up the water, a chill was in the air
when they took that groom back to his room and tied him to a chair
the witness said she saw him holding her right by the rail
was she napping? was she crying? were they kissing? were they fighting?
well, you just couldn’t tell
[chorus]
and they couldn’t find one drop of blood
as the paddle wheel pushed that mississippi mud
from h+ll on earth, down to new orleans
it was way too late to turn around now
they searched every way from stern to bow
when she disappeared on the delta queen
delta queen

[verse 4]
they never found her body, they threw him in the pen
well at a p+wn shop in saint louis, a young couple walked in
the girl was looking through the glass at all those diamonds rings
and n0body knows that the one she chose would set that prisoner free

[chorus]
that’s why they couldn’t find one drop of blood
as the paddle wheel pushed that mississippi mud
from h+ll on earth, down to new orleans
it was way too late to turn around now
they searched every way from stern to bow
when she disappeared on the delta queen

[outro]
on the delta queen
delta queen
