Tanya Tucker "Delta Dawn" |
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 downtown 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, An he 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? 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? 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 *meeting* you here today, To take you to his mansion in the sky? 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?
