Delta Dawn Songtext
von Hellbound Glory

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

She′s 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
And all the folks around Vallejo say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin′ for a mysterious dark-eyed man


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

In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn
The prettiest woman you ever have laid eyes on
And then a man of low degree stood by her side
And told her he would take her for his bride, but I lied

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

To take you to his mansion in the sky
