Delta Dawn (Barbara Ray) Songtext
von Steve Hofmeyer

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 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 folk around Brownsville say she's crazy
As she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious talkin′ man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you′ve ever laid eyes on
Then a man of Lord's grace 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 from 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 from 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 from 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 from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin′ you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

In the sky?
