      CHORUS
  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-meetin' you here today
  To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
    She's forty-one 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 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
