 (Alex Harvey/Larry Collins)



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
