Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? 
 D5        G5                              D5 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 
    G5               G5           C5                G5 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
   G5                D5               C5     G5 
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

      G5                 F5                       G5 
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby" 
G5                    F5                     G5       
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 
           C5            C5         A5       D5     G5 
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand 
G5                 F5                   G5 
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
