Never too late! Cueing the music to Delta Dawn! Next up is Texas When I Die. Can I sing along? It's impossible for me *not* to! :-)

[Rose in RoseBear]

"Delta Dawn"

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?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby."
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy,
'Cause she walks 'round town with a suitcase in her hand,
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man.

In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn,
The 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.

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?
