Delta Dawn Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 

Could it be a faded rose of days gone by 

And did I hear you say he was meetin' 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 

Looking for a mysterious dark haired man 

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 

Prettiest woman you'd ever laid eyes on 

But a man of low degree stood by her side 

Promised her he'd take her for his bride 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 

Could it be a faded rose of days gone by 

And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today 

To take you to his mansion in the sky
