Dalta Dawn Songtext
von Barbara Ray

Chorus
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?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks ′round Brownsville say she's crazy
When 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've ever laid eyes on
When a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he′d take her for his bride

Chorus

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 meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
