Delta Dawn
(Alex Harvey, Larry Collins)


She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby
Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy
'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand
And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
And he promised he would take her for his bride

Delta Dawn
What's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn
What's that flower you got on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn
What's that flower you got on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn
OIh, what is that flower that you've got on
Could it be
Could it be just a faded rose from one of those days gone by
Well, did I her you say
That he was gonna meet you right here, right here today
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky
To take you to his mansion in the sky

He's gonna take you
He's gonna take you.
Oh, he's gonna take you 
And you and you and you
Oh, gonna take you
Take you to that mansion
He's got to
Gonna take you to that mansion
He's gonna take you and you and you and you
Oh, you and you and you
Take you to his mansion in the sky

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gonna take you
Oh, oh
He's gonna take you
Gonna take you
He's gonna
He's gonna take you to that mansion
He's gonna take you and you and you, oh
