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 fortyone
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
