Lyrics of Delta dawn

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
