Delta Dawn Lyrics - Singles - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

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 to meet you here today 

To take you to his mansion in the sky? 

She's forty-one and her Dad still calls her baby 

All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 

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 

A man of low degree stood by her side 

And 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 to meet 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 to meet 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
