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 meetin' you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky.
verse 1
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her baby.
All the folks around Brownville say she's crazy.
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
Lookin for a mysterious dark haired man.
verse 2
In her youger 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.
