Delta Dawn Lyrics

Delta Dawn lyrics

(Alex Harvey/Larry Collins)



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, 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
