Lyrics

[00:01.04] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[00:06.39] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[00:13.01] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[00:19.30] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[00:25.29] She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
[00:31.23] All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
[00:37.20] cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
[00:43.44] Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man
[00:49.72] In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
[00:55.84] Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
[01:01.78] Then a man of low degree stood by her side
[01:08.05] Promised her he'd take her for his bride
[01:14.64] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[01:19.57] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[01:26.16] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[01:31.99] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[01:38.66] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[01:43.92] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[01:50.44] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[01:56.68] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[02:03.15] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[02:08.65] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[02:14.48] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[02:20.67] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[02:27.05] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[02:32.26] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[02:38.49] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
[02:44.47] To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
[02:50.85] Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
[02:55.94] Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
[03:02.18] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
