Jody Miller Delta Dawn Lyrics

Delta Dawn 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 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

But 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...

Delta Dawn what's that flower...

Delta Dawn what's that flower...

Delta Dawn what's that flower...
