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 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
 All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
 'Cause she walks down town with a 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
 And promised her he'd take her for his bride

 And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
 To take you to his mansion in the sky?
