Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose of 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 forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby

All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy

'Cause she walks downtown 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'd ever laid eyes on

But 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 of 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 of days gone by

And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky
