Helen Reddy - Delta Dawn lyrics

rate me

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-eye

She's 41 and her daddy still calls her 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

When 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 meeting 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 meeting 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 meeting 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 meeting 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 meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
