Kitty Wells "Delta Dawn" |
(Alex Harvey - Larry Collins) Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose of 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 Looking for a mysterious dark haired man. In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn Prettiest woman you ever'd 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 you have on Could it be a faded rose of days gone by And 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 have on Could it be a faded rose of days gone by And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky...
