Del Newman - Delta Dawn lyrics

She's forty-one, and her daddy still calls her baby All the folks 'round Brownsville thinks she's crazy 'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand Waitin' to meet a mysterious dark-haired man Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on? Could it be your faded rose from days gone by? Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn The prettiest thing you ever did lay eyes on But a man of low degree stood by her side Promised her he'd take her for his bride (But he lied...) Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on? Could it be your faded rose from days gone by? Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on? Could it be your faded rose from days gone by? Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on? Could it be your faded rose from days gone by? Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on? Could it be your faded rose from days gone by? Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky?
