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 around Brownsville
Say she's crazy

Cause she walks downtown
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 upon
But 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?
And 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?
And did I hear you say
He was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion
In the sky?

Delta Dawn
