Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy Songfacts. 1  This song was first recorded by Alexander Harvey in 1972. Tracy Nelson (who sang backup on the original) and Bette Midler put the song in their live repertoire before it became a country hit for Tanya Tucker.
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. Songwriters. HARVEY, ALEX/COLLINS, LARRY.
