Terri Clark - 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 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 round 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 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 meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?
