She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby.
|
Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy,
|
'cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand.
|
And she's looking 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 he promised he would take her for his bride.
|
|
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
|
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
|
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
|
to take you to his mansion in the sky?
|
|
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?
|
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
|
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
|
to take you to his mansion in the sky?
|
|
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?
|
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
|
Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today?
|
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky.
|
|
Delta Dawn, oh, what is that flower that you've got on?
|
Could it be, could it be just a faded rose from one of those days gone by?
|
Well, did I her you say
|
that he was gonna meet you right here, right here today?
|
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky.
|
To take you to his mansion in the sky.
|
|
He's gonna take you, he's gonna take you.
|
Oh, he's gonna take you and you and you and you.
|
Oh, gonna take you, take you to that mansion.
|
He's got to, gonna take you to that mansion.
|
He's gonna take you and you and you and you,
|
oh, you and you and you.
|
Take you to his mansion in the sky.
|
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
|
Gonna take you. Oh, oh.
|
He's gonna take you, gonna take you,
|
he's gonna, he's gonna take you to that mansion,
|
he's gonna take you and you and you, oh...
