Lyrics Delta Dawn (Live) - Tanya Tucker

Thank you and the good Lord for this one
And Alex R.B, Mary Collins

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-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's 41 and her daddy still calls her, 'baby'
All the folks 'round Orlando says she's crazy
'Cause she walks down 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 he 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-meetin' 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 a-meetin' 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 a-meetin' 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 a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

(Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on) sing for me
(Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?)
(And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today)
(To take you to his mansion in the sky?) (Okay)

And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky? Whoo

Thank you
We love you
