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 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 Lookin' for a mysterious dark haired man In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn Prettiest woman you ever had 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... Delta Dawn what's that flower... Delta Dawn
