Waylon Jennings: Delta Dawn (1972) lyrics
(Alex Harvey - Larry Collins)
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he\'d take her for his bride but he lied.
Delta Dawn what\'s that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin\' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
--- Instrumental ---
u smell yes u do im an artist my name is holz j
All the folks around Brownsville say she\'s crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man.
Delta Dawn what\'s that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
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 of days gone by
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 of days gone by
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 of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin\' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?...Thanks to (holly) for correcting these lyrics. Dec 11, 2007
