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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's fourty one and her daddy still calls her baby
And all the folks 'round (her) ground
Still say she's crazy
'cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious, dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
The prettiest woman, you'd ever layed eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised he would take her for his bride

5x
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 meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
