The Statler Brothers - Delta Dawn lyrics

What's that flower you have on Delta Dawn Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose of days gone by And did I hear you say he was meetin' 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 your 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... 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...
