waylon jennings – delta dawn 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 —
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 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?…
