Tanya Tucker - 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 a-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 around Brownsville say she's crazy, 'Cause she walks downtown with a 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 a-meeting you here today, To take you to his mansion in the sky? (X4)
