Miriam Bryant, Jill Johnson - Delta Dawn Text (lyrics)

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 ameetin' 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
Lookin' 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
And 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 ameetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

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
And 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 ameetin' 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 ameetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

And did I hear you say he
Was ameetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
