Delta Dawn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
[ guitar ]
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...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
