Tanya was only 13 when she recorded this and fans thought she was grown from only hearing it on the radio! Her voice was very mature.

[@AmericanPatriot-st1mi]

I was 7 when that song hit radio waves grew up listening to her too! Many other favorites. Georgia Sun was blood red and going down and Brown eyed handsome man.

[@GOBR89]

One of the female pioneers of outlaw country. I can and do listen to everything EXCEPT classical and jazz and I put my daughter up on multiple genres. Tanya Tucker is one of the greats. Shes countrys Aretha.

[@rodguthrie1929]

You really need to check out “What’s your momma’s name”. It’ll bring tears.

[@MisterItchy]

"faded rose" She's been waiting many years for a man who's not coming.

[@sk8tergurl12174ever]

In 2020 at 61 y.o Tanya finally won her very first Grammy with her song "Bring my flowers now" a song she wrote with Brandi Carlile. If you haven't heard it, it's definitely worth a listen. She actually won 2 grammys, in2020, best country song, and album.

[@ahmyrmo]

Seriously, that song is gorgeous. And Tanya’s voice is like aged whiskey in older age. So much life has been lived. And you can hear that and feel that in her voice. Bring me flowers now. It’s definitely worth a listen 🥰

[@Dinotrooper82]

Bring my flowers now is one of the most beautifully sung and written songs

[@brkfaagmlaing2604]

Enjoy your content. Basically the song is about jilted love. A handsome stranger comes to town, seduces her, tells her he is going to take her away, but skips town. Probably happened when she was young and now she still shows up in town everyday looking for him to take her with him. That's why everyone thinks she's crazy.

[@Thomas_Harkins123]

You do know the stranger she is meeting is Jesus. The line he going take me to the mansion in the sky.

[@michaelspurling4376]

@@Thomas_Harkins123 So you are saying that Jesus seduced her, abandoned her, and made her crazy? That is a common story.

[@WolvenHeart1]

Doesn't every man thinks he's Jesus at one time or another. I lost my Jesus complex 40 years ago. Found out I was merely mortal. I'm glad he forgives my silliness.

[@pennydavis2637]

@@michaelspurling4376 It’s a song with double entendres, in her youth she was a jilted bride but as she ages she simply waits for “Jesus.” Point being, mankind will let one down, Jesus will not…

[@michaelspurling4376]

@@pennydavis2637 Jesus is a myth and religion is a crutch for the weak minded.

[@toddellison5128]

I ran into Ms. Tucker when I had walked into a restricted area at the San Antonio livestock Show and Rodeo in 1985 or so, I was showing a pig that week. I was standing behind her, didn't know who she was and asked what all the excitement was about. She turned around and looked at me and said she didn't know. She smiled. I smiled. A crush began, lol. She was really nice and sweet as we spoke for a few minutes then they escorted her into the arena to perform. Someone finally came up to me and told me it was Tanya Tucker. Doh.

[@vickybrackin7483]

Another great song is Soon by Tanya Tucker!! Also her name is pronounced TANya Tucker.

[@matthewdooley7855]

Had the voice of a hard-livin' woman when she was a teenager, and she's still putting out music! One of the queens of country music.

[@pattywilliams9092]

She sang this at the Grand Ole Opry, when she was 13 yo.

[@markmyers6472]

"Could it be a faded rose from days gone by"... He filled her with dreams... and jilted her... leaving her broken and pining for a lost love....

[@ronstoner1823]

She's one of the three mentioned in Gretchen Wilson's song, Redneck Woman, along with Charlie Daniels and Bocephus(Hank Williams Jr).

[@terrylynnheinrich8777]

Queen of country sass! Try Trouble

[@noelles.8019]

The lyrics says: It's a faded rose and not a favorite rose.

[@HollerMa71]

The man who wrote this (Alex Harvey)wrote it about his mother. She was a beautiful young girl from a very strict family. His father came into town very shiny & seemingly wealthy. He was in fact a con man or "a man of low degree' & broke his mom's heart. She never stopped believing in him & eventually passed away when Alex was still young. He wrote this while dealing with her death. *Fun fact: I was named after this song! It was on the charts (by Bette Midler) during the year that I was born & my mom loved it. I always told her that she had cursed me with the lyrics! 😂😂

[@Mary-cm1ks]

Tanya Tucker is another one of those singers you cannot replace no matter what

[@cariwaldick4898]

Delta Dawn, she's from the Mississippi Delta, Brownsville, near Jackson. She's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man. She wears a faded rose. Poor thing was ghosted years ago, and can't let him go. Too many good songs by Tanya Tucker. (Remember in "Redneck Woman," Gretchen Wilson talked about knowing all the words to every Tanya Tucker song?) Try "What's Your Mama's Name?" Or later, "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane."

[@scottp.2995]

I saw her in concert in the early '90's, I've always really appreciated her! She was performing into her 60's and she sang THIS song even then and it was awesome!

[@TT50plus]

She's going into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year after 51 years since Delta Dawn when she was 13 you should check out some of her over 50 hit songs

[@stacymoore9836]

This was her debut song in 1972. She was only 13 at the time.

[@cbobwhite5768]

In her younger years, Delta Dawn was jilted by the mysterious dark-haired man. Now she wanders the streets, carrying her suitcase, wearing the rose she wore when she was jilted. She's waiting for the dark-haired man to return.

[@AmericanPatriot-st1mi]

None of them could sing it like she did at the age of 13. She took it to the Top! Jamestown Ferry is another good one.

[@ahmyrmo]

Two sparrow in a hurricane is a gorgeous song as well. If you want to check out more of her. She’s such a story teller. Just blows my mind.

[@tracimangham233]

Totally agree, such a beautiful song. Its sweet

[@reneerocha1796]

Yes!!! You must do this one!! Beautiful song!!

[@christyalford1988]

Yes!! This one is a good one!

[@rebekahbonis5921]

Yes, I vote yes.

[@GeorgeD1965]

loved the video of that song too

[@mikejenkins1972]

Tanya will be inducted into the Country Music hall of fame this year. :) And acapella-group Home Free just did a great cover of "Delta Dawn". :)

[@aliceyazzie2850]

It's about time she's recognized, for CM hall of fame, she deserves it, and long time coming.

[@mellycook]

Tanya is a legend. My dad used to have a crush on her. She’s got tons of really good music

[@brittreacts]

she is great!

[@jacibirchfield9401]

My middle name is Dawn. So my grandma used to sing this song to me. But instead of delta dawn she would sing Jaci Dawn 😊 this song hits home for me.

[@gwumpyolman]

Great choice and great reaction. This was her first song. I like her “What’s Your Mama’s Name” too, it may have been her first number one hit. Keep up the great content. She is still a beautiful woman with great style.

[@reneerocha1796]

Also a great song!

[@victorcowboywest]

Listening to the cover by Home Free and Brooke Eden, I found out that songwriter Alex Harvey wrote this song in memory of his mother who like the character of this song, was misunderstood. Also, it was therapy for him after his mother's death. Tanya 's rendition is the second release, the first time it was done by Bette Midler,later it was done by Helen Reddy.

[@tinarowland4120]

Helen Reddy must be the version I knew.

[@ednafenton7558]

You should check out a live version of Tanya singing this song at 13/14 yrs old. You're listening to Classic Country Music & it always tells you a story. Instead of stopping so much to guess what the song is about. Listen to the words a little longer. Like others have said. When she was young, She fell in love with a man, who wasn't well thought of. He promised to marry her, left town & never came back. Every day since then she comes back to town with her suitcase, looking for him to get married & take her to his home. Everyone thinks she crazy. After all this time, maybe she is now.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

She was such a badass. Even the way she bowed at the end is fascinating. Check out a much later hit of hers that is also just a fantastic song, and it is called, Strong Enough to Bend. This song got played at a lot of weddings and the like. It's fantastic.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

The woman was jilted by a smooth talker who promised to make her his bride but skips out of town.She can’t except that fact or deal with the heartache so she spends years in denial coming back to wait for someone who will never come.

[@darrinlindsey]

This song was released by 3 different ladies, in 3 consecutive years, 1971-72-73. Tanya took it to number 1 in the charts, in '73, at age 14.

[@billwieland8497]

..... and *Home Free* a couple weeks ago.

[@sgriffin2287]

Age 13

[@brittreacts]

that is awesome!

[@shirleysouthard6560]

Now that you've heard Tanya's version, you should definitely react to Home Free's version. They sprinkled the Home Free magic all over it and gave it a nice revival.

[@quixote6942]

Delta Dawn fell for the "I'll be back for you" game. She's still waiting for her "Prince Charming to come take her to his Castle".

[@DennisWGreer]

Dawn was left by the dark-haired man. Similar to Miss Havisham, a character in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations.

[@magnoliamoonshine5878]

I get so excited when I get your notifications ❤ I donated on your last livestream for Dan and Shay “Tequila” Grammy performance. Hope it’s in the lineup!!!!

[@dsusan17]

She was jilted by a bad man. She goes to town everyday looking for him. It is similar to the short story A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner. I don't know if a video exists when she was 13 and recorded this. I know there is a video of a very young Tanya singing 'What's Your Mama's Name,"

[@pamagnolia]

Magnificent!! Tanya is an icon!! Enjoyed your reaction to this!!

[@grandy2875]

Aussie born, L.A. based, Helen Reddy also had a hit with her version of this song, as well as another song with a similar theme, "Angie Baby"... worth a listen...😃 🙃🐨🇦🇺

[@johnnacourtway8305]

Tanya Tucker’s You’ve got me to hold on to is awesome. I hope you react to it!

[@dalcaY]

Two Sparrows in a Hurricane is a great Tanya song

[@jeffmosteller7175]

It's about a cad of a man who promised her the moon then broke her heart and her mind. She still crazily looks for him but he ain't coming

[@carolmiller4999]

I've always thought of Delta Dawn as the country music equivalent to Miss Havisham (a character in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations). Delta is still wearing a rose a lover gave her 25 years ago, unable to move her past.

[@meemermarie1977]

Home free just released a cover of this song that was awesome

[@brittreacts]

I will keep it in mind, thanks!

[@ritacheasbro3042]

[@hollypinkley]

both Tanya & LeAnn Rimes had their 1st #1 hit when they were 13 - both child artists who grew up way to fast!!!! They both have that some rough yodel capabilities!!!!

[@PatrickHeffernan-fs8hm]

She had that same cigarettes-and-Scotch voice in 1973 when she first released this song. She was the first concert I ever attended in about 1973 at Astroworld in Houston, Texas. God, that was 50 years ago! Okay, I'll be over there having a sad while I chug Geritol LOL

I will keep it in mind, thanks!

[@davidoriggan]

Yes. This. Love you're reactions, this is definitely a classic. The craziest thing she was like 13 or 14 when this was recorded. Long story short it's about a failed love with a man and she's middle aged but noone will love her because of her past. At least that's what I gather from the song. Also weird how people say Tonya, I've only ever heard Tanya 🤣

[@aquasicrystal226]

Actually it was written by a guy about his mom ,a misunderstood woman in small Southern Town

[@tracimangham233]

Its Tanya, sounding like Man- ya. She was a wild one!! Jezebel, coke head, you name it. I still loved her.

I'm so glad you reacted to Tanya Tucker! Now you might want to listen to "Bring my flowers now". Tanya won her first Grammy at the age of 61 for it. It is co-written by Brandi Carlile (who plays the piano on the track). It is my favorite song by Tanya. Brandi Carlile is also someone you would enjoy ("The Joke" and "The Story").

That's the beautiful and skilled thing about song writing. A great song writer can write a song that you can take multiple ways. This song is totally about banging a random dude in town. But it's also about a spiritual fight between Heaven and Hell, Good and Bad, God and satan. Great song, delivered by a masterful voice.

[@davealton3734]

classic country song....Its about a women "Delta Dawn" who met a man and was supposed to marry him but he ended up dying before he could come get her.
