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 had laid eyes on
|
But a man of low degree stood by her side 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...
