DELTA DAWN

By: Helen Reddy/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 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 'round Brownsville say she's crazy.
'Cause she walks downtown 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 layed 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?
