Delta Dawn

(Alex Harvey - Larry Collins)



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 he'd take her for his bride but he lied.



Delta Dawn what's 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?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby

All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy

Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand

Looking for a mysterious dark haired man.



Delta Dawn what's 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?
