Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
G G D D
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
G G - D C G
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
G F G G
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
C - E/B Am - D7 G G
'Cause she walks around town 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
And 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
etc...
