Me First and The Gimme Gimmes - Delta Dawn lyrics

[Originally by Helen Reddy] 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 dad 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 But a man of low degree 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.
