Delta Dawn

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
