Delta Dawn - Helen Reddy (1973)

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 a meet-in' 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 down-town with a suitcase in her hand

Look-in' 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,

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 a meet-in' you here today,

to take you to his mansion in the sky. (X4)
