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 ameeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky
she’s fortyone and her daddy still calls ‘er baby
all the folks ’round brownsville say she’s crazy
’cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
lookin’ for a mysterious darkhaired 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
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 ameeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky
delta dawn what’s that flower you have on
