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

@doahsdeer - aww... c'mon. really? MOI? heh, heh.... actually, a bunch of us Xanga girls all seem to have heard Delta Dawn somewhere within the last 24 hours. Kind of weird. I had not heard it in years. Thought it would be fun to post.
I should have tagged Jess, though, huh? (Maybe I'll post "I Am Woman" for her)
That is a lovely one.
You KNOW I gots to rec this! ;)
Something sweet.
Heh.
I love the comedy duo Pinkard and Bowden's version of that song...Delta Dawg.
ha! I like that song. I heard in my classic country radio station phase.
@godfatherofgreenbay - I'm gonna have to look that up later. I like song parodies!
@SamsPeeps - It's been going caffeine free, most of the day. And that is not a good thing. But I have my coffee pot in the dishwasher. Usually I just wash it by hand. But tomorrow I'm going to be ready and when you ask me that question, I'm going to be all perky and say, "Got my coffee! Super!" How about you?
What ever happened to Helen Reddy?
Brings back the memories, that's for sure. Hugs, baby.
That takes me back a ways. Don't hear too much about her anymore.
thank you for sharing
"Angie baby, you're a special lady... living in a world of make believe....well, maybe..."
I used to love this song!
I so remember this song and loved it then too.
i remember this song!
I know all the songs you've posted, from Jim Croce (one of my favorites) to Sayers. But this song... I used to sing this song until my face turned blue when I was a child (you can tell I'm just 3 yrs short of 50, lol!).
