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 laid eyes on   But 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...   Delta Dawn what's that flower...   Delta Dawn what's that flower...   Delta Dawn what's that flower...
