Waylon Jennings - Delta Dawn - 888050 lyrics

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on But a man of low degree stood by her side Promised her he'd take her for his bride but he lied Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose of days gone by Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky [ guitar ] 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 Looking for a mysterious dark haired man Delta Dawn what's that flower... Delta Dawn what's that flower... Delta Dawn what's that flower... Delta Dawn what's that flower...
