Waylon Jennings - Delta Dawn Lyrics
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.
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?
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 you have on
Did I hear you say he was meetin' 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 of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' 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 of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' 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 of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?...

Waylon Jennings Delta Dawn Comments
everyone BOYCOTT Grammerly for their dumb ads
WOW!!!!!!!
I love both Waylon's and Tanya's version, but it was Waylon who covered this song a whole year before Tanya did, for his Lady's Love Outlaws album.
As of today, 29 retarded jitbags have thumbed this down. I guess they were looking for something a little more like Billy Joel, or some homo like that.
God I Love anything this Man sings. I so miss him, So many of the greats have left Us. As George Jones said, Who's gonna fill there shoes ?. R.I.P to all the greats. See you on the other side
Much better than any other versions of Delta Dawn. Love this man.rip Waylon!
The other sister Daniel why daniel why how MANNY kicks does it take to get to the center of a TOITSUE POP TURTLE BRAIN NOODLE VROOOM
Im Audi mufuc
I'll suck NY raisins on your ass and mine are dead got banded flick it
GREAT RENDITION...
The King !!!!
Second time I hear this I am blown away how great Waylon does this one, just wow, I don't have better words for it than that.
Tanya Tucker also wrote this song her parents and mine were friends.
Alex Harvey wrote this. Tucker did a cover.
Alex Harvey co wrote this song with Larry Collins from the Collins Kids
She was like 14 when she sang that song..so don't believe she wrote it..
Waylon covered this song a year before Tanya did.
Stop lying
Wow made me cry, Delta Dawn has always been a reminder of how happy I was when my parents where still together a family so many years agk
He is the original singer and songwriter for this song
Sorry your family split. Everybody tries their best I guess
Try the definitive Scott Walker version.
billy joe and waylon my heroes
Waylon totally nails this. Tanya Tucker's version is great but Waylon's voice is just so powerful. When Waylon went full out his voice was as good as anyone's in any genre
You should hear his version of "Crying" by Roy Orbison
waylon is my all time favorite; tanya tucker, nailed this to the wall, more so than anyone could ever imagine, or hope to do so!
Crying.......................................https://youtu.be/g6zaySxbmgQ?t=1
Tanya Tucker also lied to Waylon Jennings and Jessi colter
Good but not great. Tanya trumps over the rest.
Tanya Tucker cannot be trusted with this song Waylon Jennings and Jessi colter can be trusted with this song
I lost my family and the woman I love a year ago today ..this , Sang by tanya, is her favorite song..I can't get over her
Joseph Mose i am so sorry dude . I Hope you are okey
It's okay pal, whiskey and marijuana will always be there for ya (;
@Vi Sau And lobotomy.
haven' t heard Waylon do this reminds me when I had a Tanya Tucker poster she was in red leather holding a stick of dynamite between her legs so glad my uncle introduced me to Waylon
I like both versions his and hers.
does anyone know tanya tucker's address in malibu
Isnt she dead?
Just a vacation home
I'm pretty sure it's a trailer park.
I prefer this version of Tanya Tucker's.
+gvnlee12 Tanya Tucker is also white you fuckin jabroni
Beautiful singing, waylon could sing the panties off anybody!!!!!!
the best
Who wooda thought Waylon Jennings would sing the panties offa this piece. GREAT
Don't know if you'll get this notification or not after 2 years, but Waylon also covered Unchained Melody, believe it or not. Also surprisingly good.
Waylon keep on.
Waylon was the man
oops, thanks for the heads up. I corrected the title.
It's " Delta Dawn" not down.
