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-meetin' you here today

　　To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?

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

　　All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

　　Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

　　Lookin' 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
