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-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

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?
