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-eye

she's 41 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

lookin for a mysterious dark haired man

in her younger days they called her delta dawn

prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

when a man of low degree stood by her side

promised 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?

and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today

to take you to his mansion in the sky -eye

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 eye

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 eye

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 eye

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 eye
