Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Delta Dawn

She was forty-one and her daddy still called her Baby

Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy

'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand

And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

But a man of low degree stood by her side

And he promised he would take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky high?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today?

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky high

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today?

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky high

To take you to his mansion in the sky

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you his mansion in the sky

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you, gonna take you
