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