Delta Dawn | |
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 | |
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 ameeting you here today | |
To take you to his mansion in the sky | |
She' s fortyone | |
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 darkhaired 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 |
