Delta Dawn - Hellbound Glory

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 meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She’s forty-one and her daddy still calls her «Baby»

And all the folks around Vallejo say she’s crazy

'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand

Lookin' for a mysterious dark-eyed man

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 meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

In her younger days they called her «Delta Dawn»

The prettiest woman you ever have laid eyes on

And then a man of low degree stood by her side

And told her he would take her for his bride, but I lied

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 meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?
