Delta Dawn Songtext

Delta Dawn Songtext
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 and her daddy 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
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-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?
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 and her daddy 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
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-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?
