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

She's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
And all the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man

And in her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her to be 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 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 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 meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
