Delta Dawn (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Ashland Craft

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 around Brownsville say she's crazy 

'Cause she walks dowtown 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? 

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?
