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

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 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
