Delta Dawn Lyrics - Hits - 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 around Brownsville say she's crazy 

'Cause she walks down town 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

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?

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?
