Delta Dawn - Jill Johnson/Miriam Bryant

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

Waiting 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

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

And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky
