Delta Dawn 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-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 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
