Delta Dawn

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 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 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

Waiting 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

Promised her he'd take her for his bride
