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 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
Waiting 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
