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 downtown with a suitcase in her hand

Lookin' for a mysterious, dark-haired man

In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Then a man of low degree stood by her side (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Promised her he'd take her for his bride (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
