Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn - Tanya Tucker

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-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "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

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-meetin' 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 a-meetin' 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 a-meetin' 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 a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

And did I hear you say he

Was a-meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
