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-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
'round 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
Then a man of low degree
stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her
for his bride
