Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone bye
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"
And 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
And promised her he'd take her for his bride
