Delta Kate        (C) 1989 N.Thomas / D.Turner         Well I had a little girl called Delta Kate         She was born and raised in that southern state         Across that border down in Mexico         And I never really knew why she had to go                Delta Kate                You're too late                Delta Kate                You know I'm much too late for your love         Well I was working for the railroad on the union track         Sweating double-shift I could've broken my back         When I got a letter from Delta Kate         It said move down here and don't be late         Well I spent my wages on the journey down         She met me at the station at the local town         Said do you take this woman to be your wife?         I give you three weeks mister she'll be running your life         (Some of the lines from this song were written by Dave Turner)
