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 meetin' 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 downtown with a suitcase in her
hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta
Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
