In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn
Publisher: EMI U CATALOG INC
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
A man of low degree stood by her side
And did I hear you say, he was to meet you here today
Lookin' for a mysterious, dark-haired man
And did I hear you say, he was to meet you here today
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Songwriters: Larry Collins, Alex Harvey
Could it be a faded rose from days
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
She's forty-one and her Dad still calls her baby
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
She walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
And promised her, he'd take her for his bride
And did I hear you say, he was to meet you here today
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
