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-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion
in the sky

She's forty-one
and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville
say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town
with a suitcase in her hand
Looking 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
And 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-meeting 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-meeting 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-meeting 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-meeting you here today
To take you to his
mansion in the sky...
