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
