[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
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
