Delta Dawn

Great song, Make me want to cry.

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…
