Home Free and Brooke Eden - Deltra Dawn

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

She's 41 and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say 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 (Delta Dawn)
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on (ever laid eyes on)
Then a man of low degree stood by her side (by his 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? (Days gone by)
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today (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? (From days gone by)
Oh, and did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today (did I hear you say)
(Meeting you here today)
To take you to his mansion in the sky? (Oh, in the sky) (yeah, yeah)

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

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on (Delta Dawn, that you have on)
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? (Faded rose) (from days gone by)
Oh, and did I hear you say he was meeting you here today (meeting you here today)
To take you to his mansion in the sky? (Oh, in the sky)
Oh, to take you to his mansion in the sky? (Sky)(oh, in the sky)
