Delta Dawn Lyrics - Singles - Helen Reddy

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 ameetin' 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 downtown with a suitcase in her hand 

Lookin' 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
