And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
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
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?
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
And promised her he'd take her for his bride
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
'Cause she walks down town with a suitcase in her hand
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her, 'baby'
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
