Delta Dawn

She's forty-one, and her daddy still calls her baby

All the folks 'round Brownsville thinks she's crazy

'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand

Waitin' to meet a mysterious dark-haired man

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you had on?

Could it be your faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn

The prettiest thing you ever did lay eyes on

But a man of low degree stood by her side

Promised her he'd take her for his bride

(But he lied...)

Could it be your faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say, he was meetin' you here today
