Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Did I hear you say he was 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 downtown with a suitcase in her hand

She's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman that you'd 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

Did I hear you say he was meeting 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 from days gone by

Did I hear you say he was meeting 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 from days gone by

Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky
