Delta Dawn Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 

Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on 

But a man of low degree stood by her side 

Promised her hed take her for his bride but he lied 

Delta Dawn, whats that flower you have on 

Could it be a faded rose of days gone by 

Did I hear you say he was meetin you here today 

To take you to his mansion in the sky? 

Shes forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby 

All the folks around Brownsville say shes crazy 

Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand 

Looking for a mysterious dark haired man
