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?

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?

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?

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?

    Y'all remember that Tanya Tucker wrote a "Coke Whore" version of "Delta Dawn" that never made it on to the radio, don't you? CHECK IT OUT!


    - - - CHORUS - - -

    Delta Dawn
    What’s them drugs that you been on:
    Could it be a line of coke
    To get you high?

    And did I hear them say
    You done a-snorted 2 grams today
    And got took to that Mansion in the Sky?

    - - - - -

    She's 81
    And her daddy still
    Calls her “coke whore”

    All the folks
    Around Bald Knob
    Say “She’s done for!”

    ‘Cuz she walks around town
    With a crack pipe in her hand
    Lookin’ for some mysterious red-eyed man

    In her younger days
    They called her Delta Dawn
    Purtiest thang you’ve ever laid eyes on
    Then a man with low libido by her side
    Promised her he’d take her for his bride

    - - - - -

    Repeat Chorus x4
