Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - 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 to meet you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty-one and her Dad still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
She walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious, dark-haired man

In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
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 to meet 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 to meet 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
