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
