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

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

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

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

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

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
