What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

TANYA TUCKER  "delta dawn" cd, 1972

from the newly purchased 4 album set i purchased...
her debut...
had no idea she was only 13 on this one until i Wiki'd the album...
lots of songs about love, sex, viginity and relationships from a female point of view...
all good stuff until you you relaise she was 13 which makes it a bit uncomfortable and creepy at times
and it shows how 'sexualised' the industry made her at that young age...
get around the age thing and it is still a fantastic album IMO
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

the hit single






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-meeting 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 around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks down town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking 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
And 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-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
