Del-ta Dawn,
what's that flow-er you have on
Could it be a fad-ed rose
from days gone by
And did I hear you say
he was a-meet-in' you here to-day
To take you to his man-sion in the sky
She's for-ty-one and her dad-dy
still calls her "ba-by"
All the folks a-round Browns-ville
say she's craz-y
'Cause she walks down town
with a suit-case in her hand
Look-in' for a mys-ter-ious
dark-haired man
In her young-er days
they called her Del-ta Dawn
Pret-ti-est wom-an you ev-er laid eyes on
Then a man of low de-gree stood by her side
And prom-ised her he'd take her for his bride
Del-ta Dawn,
what's that flow-er you have on
Could it be a fad-ed rose
from days gone by
And did I hear you say
he was a-meet-in' you here to-day
To take you to his man-sion in the sky
