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 a-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 down town 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 ever laid eyes on

　　Then a man of low degree stood by her side

　　And 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

　　And did I hear you say he was a-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

　　And did I hear you say he was a-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

　　And did I hear you say he was a-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

　　And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today

　　To take you to his mansion in the sky
