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 forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around 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 rose from days gone by?
And did I, did I hear you say, he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
