Helen Reddy - 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 meet-in' 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 down-town with a suitcase in her hand Look-in' 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? repeat4x And did I hear you say he was a meet-in' you here today, to take you to his mansion in the sky.
