Delta Dawn

Helen Reddy 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 a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

she's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
all the folks 'round brownsville say she's crazy
cause she walks downtown with her 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
when 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 meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky -eye

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 meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

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 meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

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 meeting you here today

could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye
