Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn - Helen Reddy

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 down town 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
