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
|
