Lyrics

0:01Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on

0:05Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

0:10And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

0:18To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

0:22She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"

0:29All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

0:35Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

0:41Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man

0:47In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

0:53Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

1:00Then a man of low degree stood by her side

1:06Promised her he'd take her for his bride

1:13Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on

1:20Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

1:25And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

1:32To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

1:37Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on

1:45Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

1:49And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

1:57To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

2:02Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on

2:09Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

2:15And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

2:22To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

2:26Delta Dawn' what's that flower you have on

2:34Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

2:39And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

2:46To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' 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
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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
