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 four to 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
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
promise 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
oh when did i hear you say
he was meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky
delta dawn what's that flower you have on
could it be a faded rose from days gone by
