Chorus

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 meeting you here today..

to take you to his mansion in the sky.y.y.y?

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 her 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..

promised her he`d take her for his bride.

to take you to his mansion in the sky.y.y.y?

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 meeting you here today..

to take you to his mansion in the sky.y.y.y?

Chorus

Delta Dawn, what`s that flower you have on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
