Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose

from days gone by

And did I hear ya say

He was a- meet in' you here to day

To take you to his man sion

in the sky

She's for ty- one and her

dad dy still calls her ba by

All the folks a round Browns ville

say she's cra zy

'Cause she walks down town

with a suit case in her hand

Look in' for a my ster i ous dark- haired man

In her young er days

they called her Del ta Dawn

Pret ti est wo man you e ver laid eyes on

Then a man of low de gree

stood by her side

Pro mised her he'd

take her for his bride

Del ta Dawn

What's that flow er you have on

Could it be a fa ded rose

from days gone by

And did I hear ya say

He was a- meet in' you here to day

To take you to his man sion

in the sky
