Delta Dawn

(Alex Harvey - Larry Collins)



What's that flower you have on Delta Dawn



Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose of days gone by

And did I hear you say

He was meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky.



In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid your 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 of days gone by

And 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

And did I hear you say

He was meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky.



Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on

And did I hear you say
