Delta Dawn Lyrics

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's 41 andher dady still calls her Baby

All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand

Lookin' for a mysterious dark haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

Then a man of low degree stood by her side

Promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
