Delta Dawn Lyrics

NTRO: B E D..E..B E D..E
#1.
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
But a man of low degree stood by her side.
Promised her he'd take her for his bride.
CHORUS:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
#2.
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her, baby.
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy.
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man.
CHORUS:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
CHORUS:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
CHORUS:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
CHORUS:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
OUTRO:
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?..(Fade.)
