-Artist: Helen Reddy from "Helen Reddy's Greatest Hits": EMI ST 11467 -peak Billboard position # 1 for 1 week in 1973 -Words and Music by Alex Harvey and Larry Collins
CHORUS 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-meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby" All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy 'cause she walks downtown with her 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 Then a man of low degree stood by her side Promised her he'd take her for his bride
CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
