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.y.y.y?
She`s forty-one and her Daddy still calls her, Baby.
All the folks around Brownsville say she`s crazy.
Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand..
looking 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.
to take you to his mansion in the sky.y.y.y?
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.y.y.y?
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.y.y.y?
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.y.y.y?
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.y.y.y?
Delta Dawn, what`s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?..(Fade.)
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
