2.Delta Dawn

Lyricist:Larry Collins, Alex Harvey

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 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 around town 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
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 meetin' 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 meetin' 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 meetin' 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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
