Larry Collins - Delta Dawn 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 meeting 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 round Brownsville say she's crazy Cause she walks downtown With her suitcase in her hand Looking 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 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 meeting 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 meeting 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 meeting 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 meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky
