Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn - Monica Rizzio

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 41 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

And 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

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

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
