Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? 
 D        G                              D 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 
    G               G7           C                G 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
   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       
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 
           C            C/B         Am       D7     G 
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand 
G                 F                   G 
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
