DELTA DAWN - Helen Reddy
Tanya Tucker


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-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 '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.
Then a man of low degree
stood by her side,
promised her he'd take her for his bride.
