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-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 Around Town 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 On
Then A Man Of Low Degree Stood By Her Side
And 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 A-meeting You Here Today
To Take You To His Mansion In The Sky
