Delta Dawn Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

She was forty-one and her daddy still called her Baby 

Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy 

'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand 

And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man 

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on 

But a man of low degree stood by her side 

And he promised he would take her for his bride 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? 

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 

Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today 

To take you to his mansion in the sky? 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on? 

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 

Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today 

To take you to his mansion in the sky high? 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on? 

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 

Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today? 

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky high 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on? 

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 

Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today? 

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky high 

To take you to his mansion in the sky 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you to his mansion 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you to his mansion 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you to his mansion 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you to his mansion 

He's gonna take you his mansion in the sky 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you 

He's gonna take you, gonna take you
