Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn, whats 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?

Shes forty-one and her daddy still calls her, baby

All the folks around Brownsville say shes crazy

Cause she walks down 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 hed take her for his bride
