Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn

Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn (Lyrics)
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks down town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

When my sister was 2 years old, she memorized this song from the radio and sang it all the time. Over and over, everywhere, all the time, lol. She drove us nuts. My grandmother finally bought her a 45 of it so she could sing with Tanya Tucker. My sister died at the end of April, 2014. This song came up in my suggestions today, I haven't thought of it in decades. Bittersweet to hear it again.
