Delta Dawn - Teresa Brewer

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-eye

She's 41 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

Lookin for a mysterious dark haired man

In her younger days they called her delta dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

When 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 eye

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 eye

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I

Did I hear you say

He was a meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky eye
