She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby
Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy
'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand
And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
And he promised he would take her for his bride
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you hear today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn what's that flower you got on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn what's that flower you got on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn oh what is that flower that you've got on
Could it be could it be just a faded rose from one of those days gone by
Well did I hear you say
That he was gonna meet you right here right here today
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky
To take you to his mansion in the sky
He's gonna take you he's gonna take you
Oh he's gonna take you and you and you and you
Oh take you take you to that mansion
He's gonna gonna take you to that mansion
He's gonna take you and you and you and you
Oh you and you and you
Take you to his mansion in the sky
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Take you Oh oh
He's gonna take you he's gonna take you and you and you and you
Oh he's gonna take you to that mansion he's gonna take you to that mansion
He's gonna take you take you take you take you
Oh take you and you and you and you
