Lyrics

[00:01.370] Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on?
[00:05.420] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[00:10.160] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[00:18.40] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[00:22.400] She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
[00:29.210] All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
[00:35.130] cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
[00:41.440] Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man
[00:47.680] In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
[00:53.860] Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
[01:00.600] Then a man of low degree stood by her side
[01:06.460] Promised her he'd take her for his bride
[01:13.530] Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on?
[01:20.580] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[01:25.330] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[01:32.880] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[01:37.440] Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on?
[01:45.620] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[01:49.990] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[01:57.729] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[02:02.280] Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on?
[02:09.949] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[02:15.630] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[02:22.500] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[02:26.680] Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on?
[02:34.480] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[02:39.220] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[02:46.800] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
