Delta Dawn - Barbara Ray
[Chorus]
Delta Dawn, wh
at's that flow
er you have on
?
Could it be a
faded rose fro
m days gone by
?
And did I hear
you say he wa
s meeting you
here today
to take you to
his mansion i
n the sky-y?
[Verse 1]
She's forty-on
e and her Dadd
y still calls
her baby
All the folks
around Brownsv
ille say she's
crazy
When she walks
downtown with
her suitcase
in her hand
looking for a
mysterious dar
k haired man
[Verse 2]
In her younger
days they cal
led her Delta
Dawn
Prettiest woma
n you ever lai
d eyes on
Then a man of
low degree sto
od by her side
promised her h
e'd take her f
or his bride
[Chorus]
Delta Dawn, wh
at's that flow
er you have on
?
Could it be a
faded rose fro
m days gone by
?
And did I hear
you say he wa
s meeting you
here today
to take you to
his mansion i
n the sky-y?
[Outro]
