Delta Dawn - Live From The Troubadour / October 2019

Amazin' Grace, well, how sweet is the sound
That saved a wreck like me
Well, I once was lost, but now, now am found
Well, I was blind but now I, I see

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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's 41
And her daddy still calls her 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
A prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And he 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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Sing it with me

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 meetin' 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 meetin' 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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Did I hear you say
He was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Tennessee Records, thank you
For all the lovin' you've given me
I love you all
