Lyrics Delta Dawn (1972) - Waylon Jennings
(Alex
Harvey
- Larry
Collins)
In
her
younger
days
they
called
her
Delta
Dawn
Prettiest
woman
you
ever
had
laid
eyes
on
But
a
man
of
low
degree
stood
by
her
side
Promised
her
he'd
take
her
for
his
bride
but
he
lied.
Delta
Dawn
what's
that
flower
you
have
on
Could
it
be
a
faded
rose
of
days
gone
by
Did
I
hear
you
say
he
was
meetin'
you
here
today
To
take
you
to
his
mansion
in
the
sky?

Instrumental

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
Did
I
hear
you
say
he
was
meetin'
you
here
today
To
take
you
to
his
mansion
in
the
sky?
